Rob Weller's Healthy Chicken Fajitas Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
CHICKEN FILLING
1 large plump chicken breast
1/2 cup celery (tops and tender, inside sta, lks)
1/2 medium white onion
2 or 3 peppercorns
2 tbsp olive oil
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 1/2 large red onions
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1 salt to taste
1 pepper to taste
BEAN FILLING
1 lb bag of pinto beans (red or pink)
8 cup water
1 salt to taste
1/4 onion
1/4 cup olive oil
Recipe Preparation
Poach chicken with celery tops, onions and peppercorns. Cook for
about 15 minutes. Let cool and remove skin. When chicken is skinned,
slice or shred, then saute with olive oil in wok or large skillet
until barely browned around the edges. Next add red and yellow
peppers and red onions. Toss and saute for about 10 minutes. Watch
closely so that peppers don't go limp. Add cilantro leaves. Remove
from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Combine with beans (see
below). Place in tortillas, top with salsa and serve.
Cook beans in water for approximately 1 1/2 hours on medium heat.
Make sure that beans are completely covered in water. Stir
occasionally. Beans will absorb liquid and become soft. Add more
water if needed. Add salt when beans are thoroughly cooked. Remove
from heat. Add chopped onion. (Onions will cook from the heat of the
beans.) Drizzle with olive oil. Let sit.
TORTILLAS: Warm six large flour tortillas in microwave on high (in
large zip lock bag to preserve moisture) for about 30 seconds.
SALSA: Two large, peeled and chopped tomatoes.
Serves 4.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weightMake sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some reduced carb diet tips:
* Use soy flour or soy baking mix. When you have to use flour for baking, repalce it with soy flour or a soya baking mix such as Atkins baking mix. In most situtations, you may change your favorite recipes that use standard wheat flour to use these.
* Replace sugar with splenda. Most recipes that require sugar can be changed to make use of splenda instead. It has a different density so you will have to expirement with it and it may not work for every recipe, but it gives very good results once you get the measurements right.
Cruciferous vegetables, Superfoods that help with Dieting
(includes Broccoli, Celery, Collard greens and Rutabaga)
These cruciferous vegetables are jam-packed with vitamins (folate and vitamin c, for example), minerals (eg. potassium), fibre, chlorophyll and antioxidents.
Over and above their most other great health properties, the vitamins and nutrients in these are believed by scientists to reduce the risk of cancer.
