For the month of October, Recipe Thursdays will focus on recipes that contain ingredients believed to be key in preventing breast cancer....not to mention they're yummy and healthy!! 


Why this recipe helps your chances against breast cancer: 
- For every 0.5 mg of flavones you eat daily, your breast cancer risk drops by 13% and this meal contains 2mg! (flavones: natural substances found in a handful of fruits, vegetables, and herbs)
- The right intake of fiber and folate can help reduce your risk by up to 30%...guess what beans can provide!
- Low fat = lower breast cancer risk! 


Enjoy!


Spice Rubbed Chicken Tortillas with Mango Salsa


Ingredients

1½ Tbsp brown sugar 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground ginger ½ tsp coarse salt ½ tsp ground red pepper 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 oz each) 2 tsp olive oil

2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced 1 lg red onion, halved and thinly sliced ¼ c coarsely chopped cilantro + additional for garnish 4 whole wheat tortillas (10" diameter) ½ c mango salsa or chutney

Directions


1. In small bowl, combine sugar, cumin, ginger, salt, and ground red pepper. Coat both sides of chicken with spice rub. Set aside.

2. Line baking sheet with foil, and preheat broiler.

3. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion (make sure to clean them first...gotta love the EatCleaner products for this!), and cook until vegetables are soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro, and cover skillet to keep vegetables warm.

4. Broil chicken about 6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 160 degrees F and juices run clear. Let chicken cool slightly before cutting into ½"-thick slices.

5. Heat tortillas by placing each one in large dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side or until heated through.

6. To serve, spoon a portion of vegetables down the center of each tortilla. Arrange chicken slices over vegetables, and roll up. Spoon 2 tablespoons of mango salsa over each tortilla. Garnish with cilantro.

Makes 4 Servings (1 tortilla, 1 chicken breast, 3/4 cup of vegetables, and 2 tablespoons of salsa)

Eat Cleaner!

At Camp Do More 2011 we got these awesome bags that included the Eat Cleaner wipes which I am sure so many are familiar. I tried the samples in my bag, loved them, and ordered more...and now I can't wait to share them with you! I have ordered a kit to have at home (check out their kitchen set...awesome deal!) and I will be periodically including a package of 10 wipes in Shakeology cleanse packets to keep your eyes peeled for that! What better way to introduce these to all of you than a video that helps you to see what they're about and how to use the Eat Cleaner products? Let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy!
