Happy Tummy!

This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness week and for all of you who are trying to remember that food is NOT an enemy and calories=energy for your body to live, grow, and move - I have a gluten-free meal for YOU!

Tinga is a favorite in the Elizalde casa - so here is the recipe!

Step one - put some chicken breasts with a little water in the crockpot on LOW. I know you're a busy working lady (or gentleman) so the crockpot (and crockpot liner!) is your friend! When you get home from work, pull out the chicken and shred it.

Take the chicken broth from the crockpot and put in a blender with a few tomatoes, a medium-sized clove of garlic, and some salt&pepper. Blend tomato mixture.

Meanwhile, cut lots and lots of onions into rings and saute in a large pot. (this pot was about 1/2 full of onions before they break down)

When onions are ready, pour tomato mixture in with the onions and add a can of Chipotle. Either kind will work (even the ChiLpotle haha) but if you do the individual peppers you'll want to only use 2-3 and put them in the blender with the tomatoes. Otherwise, just dump the whole salsa kind in there :)

Add the chicken and mix. If it doesn't seem like there's much liquid, you can add another 1/2c-1c of water. Then float some cilantro and 1 whole chile pepper, reduce heat and cover. Simmer for anytime between 30-45 minutes.

Enjoy on top of tostadas or chips. (I always add lime juice, but J tells me that's not Mexican. So consider lime juice the delicious Tex-Mex version)

And of course, remember food is your FRIEND, not your enemy! Happy healthy eating everyone!
