~STIR IN: 1 cup diced tomatoes (2 Green), then remove from heat; set aside.

4 oz Sargentos or Lucerne reduced-fat shredded Mozzarella cheese (1 Lean) *3-5g fat per oz.

*Per request: Insta-pot Method: 

~Turn the Instant Pot to SAUTE and add the oil. 

~Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the ground meat and seasoning Cook and stir, breaking up as you go, until the meat is no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Stir to combine. 

~Add ¼ cup water and scrape up all of the stuck on bits of food. (Make sure to get every bit off so that you avoid a burn warning.) Pour in the diced tomatoes in their juices. Do not stir.

~Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Set the lid back on the Instant Pot (no need to seal; just make sure it is resting on top). Let rest 10 additional minutes to allow the cheese to melt and more of the liquid to absorb. 

 ~Divide into 4 equal portions. Enjoy!

Cali'FLATBREAD Chicken Fajitas

[2 servings: 1 Lean, 3 Green, 2-3 Condiment, 1 Fat]

4 Cali-Flatbread (2/3 Lean, 4 Green) use my link: https://glnk.io/9pw/dragonfliesluv

~Bake at 400 for 10 minutes on a parchment paper lined baking stone or vented pan.
~Drape each flatbread over the edge of a loaf pan [FOR Crisper shell, set draped shells in oven bake 5-8 minutes more until crispness desired.]

~Set aside

Chicken Salsa Fajita
[6 Servings: Each 2/3 Lean, 1 Green, 1 Condiment]
Ingredients:
32 ounces of chicken (4 Lean)
3/4 cup red bell pepper (1 Green)
3/4 cup green bell pepper (1 Green)
1/2 cup chopped green onions (2 Condiment)
1-1/2 cups Rotel Diced tomatoes (3 Green)
2 teaspoon low sodium taco seasoning (4 Condiment)

~Turn on your Pampered Chef Quick Cooker (an Insta-Pot would work also)
~Place chicken into the bottom of the inner pot. Cover with the remaining ingredients then secure and lock the lid aligning the steam icons per manufacture instructions. 
~Choose the Chicken/Poultry setting and press start. (15 minute timer will begin)
~When the timer goes off, hit cancel then manually release the pressure, making sure you are away from the back of the quick cooker when you release steam. (The Pampered Chef Quick cooker is designed to release steam towards the back of the cooker as long as you aligned the steam icons to begin. I love that safety feature.)

TO SERVE: Shred chicken and divide mixture into 6 equal portions. Serve 2 portions with 2 Cali'flour FLATBREADS each and store the remaining 4 servings in Ziploc Freezer for a different meal. Remember to label the bags.
