i find this one quite healthy, and you can sit infront of the telly..

sorry i dont have measurements cos I usally cook for one, but with the chicken, basically what you woudl use for a normal size meal for your family, either way i think u will figure it out;)
ingreadence -
pack of tortila;s (large onse are good, but minnie onse are nice for a bit of a snack ( enough for two or three each(for hungry people)
lettuc
tomatoe
sourcream( a normal size tub shoudl do)
tub of Salsa ( you could use either mild or spicey depending on taste’s.)
packet of either Taco or Burrito seasoning.
cheese ( can do without)

method
add packet of seasoning too a cup of water,
cook chicken in a frypan, ( dont make chicken pieces too big.)
once chicken is started too cook add season and water mixture, keep stiring around ,
once its all mixed together add Salsa and cook for another few minuts

while doing that you can cut up vegies, and put the sourcream and cheese into seperate bowls.

once cooked, put chicken into a bowl, set out onto the table with tortilla’s and people can wrap up there own and there you go!!!!

you can add more vegies if you want, or not have any at all,
either way, there isnt alot of added fat, and all the engreatents are fairly low fat.

email me if you have any questions cos my explaining mite be a bit odd ( stuckinacookiejar@hotmail.com)

Whole wheat pasta (the curly ones or ziti pasta), cook according to directions
1 small jar of red roasted peppers, cut up (or 1 fresh red pepper, sauteed)
