KL's CHICK-IN SPELT SOFT TACO
It's the main ingredient in "hummus" and it's a great source of protein and fiber for those who lack it in their daily nutrition.
The spelt wraps were purchased at Whole Foods Market and contain all natural ingredients and no corn syrup or additives!
Ingredients:
Chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
Baby Bella mushrooms
Yellow onion
Roma tomato
Red Leaf lettuce
Spelt flour wrap (organic)
Chives
Basil
Cayenne pepper
Sea salt
Prep:
The chickpeas were slow cooked with yellow onion and bay leaves for 2 hours.
Next, in a small saucepan, the chickpeas and [well-rinsed] mushrooms were heated together for 5 minutes with the flavorful seasonings (chives, basil, cayenne, onion powder, sea salt) to create the "meat" of the taco/burrito/wrap (which ever you prefer to make).
Strain any excess liquid so that it doesn't make your taco messy as you're eating it, or mash it up a little with a spoon our fork to make the "meat" easier to handle... if you're a rookie!
The spelt wrap was warmed on the open gas range for 30 seconds, constantly flipped every 5 or so seconds to prevent over cooking or burning.
Fresh cut vegetables for toppings of your choice makes this meal more memorable as I chose red leaf lettuce and Roma tomato for my CHICK N taco, whoooooo!

KL's JUMBO FLAME SALAD
I chose to top this salad with the world's best raisin also, which are fat free and helps maintain muscle health due to the high iron and potassium content!
It's loaded with antioxidants, protein, fiber, and a lot of minerals that the body needs to maintain maximum health! No need to worry about the large amount of pure fructose the JUMBO FLAME RAISINS contain, as the body can absorb and utilize this "simple sugar" and easily break it down!
Below are the ingredients I used to make this super FAST and super HEALTHY recipe!
INGREDIENTS:
Fresh Green Leaf Lettuce
Fresh Kale
Fresh Green Cucumber
Fresh Cilantro
Fresh Roma Tomato
Fresh Yellow Onion
Jumbo Flame Raisins
DRESSING: (serves 1-2)
Fresh Key Lime (1 squeezed)
Thyme (herb)
Rosemary (herb)
100% Raw Blue Agave Syrup (1 tablespoon)
100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil (2 tablespoon)
100% Sea Salt (dash)
These ingredients will:
Detoxify the body
Maintain muscle health
Aid digestion
Ward of urinary tract infections
Reduce menstrual cramping
Promote healthy liver function
Break up mucus in the body
Lower blood sugar
Fight stroke, cardiovascular disease
