This is a nutrient-dense, light meal that's perfect for fasting as it provides hydration, fiber, and slow-releasing energy.


Ingredients:

    2 tablespoons chia seeds

    1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

    1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

    1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

    A sprinkle of nuts or seeds (optional)

Instructions:

    Mix the chia seeds, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract in a jar or bowl.

Tender Chicken Wrapped in Tortillas with a Rich, Creamy Cheese Sauce

 


Ingredients:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for garnish)

4 large tortillas

For the Creamy Cheese Sauce:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup milk

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Cook the Chicken:


Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the diced chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Cook the chicken in the skillet for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the Creamy Cheese Sauce:


In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).

Stir in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Wraps:


Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lay the tortillas flat and divide the cooked chicken evenly among them. Roll up each tortilla tightly, and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.

Pour the creamy cheese sauce generously over the top of the wraps.

Bake the Wraps:


Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Remove from the oven and garnish with additional shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

Serve:


Allow the wraps to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these cheesy, creamy wraps with a side of salad or roasted vegetables.
