Let's get ready

Some delicious macaroni or elbow pasta salad

You know with what?

With chipotle, with a cream substitute, with chicken

'Mac and Cheese' in a healthy 'Tex-Mex' style

Hi, my name is Laura and I teach you to cook healthy

All my recipes can be eaten by people with diabetes

With cholesterol, with hypertension, on diets

Well, delicious! Because I give you substitutes

So that they end up way, way healthier

And today we're going to make this tasty recipe that you're going to love

Super easy and cheap

Above all for all those babes who later write me

'Laura, my kid's piñata is coming

And I don't know what to cook for the moms'

Or you have the baby shower and you want something cheap

And at the end everybody tells you

'How delicious the food turned out'

This is going to fascinate you

To start I put three tablespoons of water to boil

I'm going to add one minced garlic clove

And half a cup

Of onion finely diced

I'm going to add chicken

The amounts of chicken and pasta will be to your taste

I'm adding

About 350 grams of chicken

And we're going to start

Cooking it here

I'm going to leave it there. We're going to season it with a little salt

If you want add a bit of pepper, salt to taste

There it is. Now let's leave this cooking here

While we start making our sauce that will be the secret

Of this delicious recipe

I'm going to leave it on medium-low heat

I'm going to cover and let's go with the sauce

You're going to need

One garlic clove. We're going to place it

And we're going to add two chipotle peppers, okay?

I'm opening my can here

They're called 'La Morena'

That brand of chipotle peppers

People from the United States write me a lot

Saying they don't find it in the supermarket

Where can you find it, you can find it at Walmart

At Jewel

At Meijer

Also at Hispanic supermarkets

There you can find 'La Morena' products

They have chipotle peppers that smell really good

And on top I got a bunch and they come with lots of broth

You know it even works to make more salsa

And I also have the pickled peppers

They have beans and a huge variety of Mexican products

You find them, like I said, in those supermarkets

So we're using here

The little chipotles from 'La Morena'

Let's add one cup of skim milk

One cup of Greek yogurt

Note: I'm doing this to replace the cream

If you don't want the healthy or light version

Just use cream

Mexican crema that we use for recipes

If you're in the United States you can use sour cream

Just add a little milk

Here it goes

But the Greek yogurt gives you a tangy flavor

It provides calcium

It's a super healthy dairy

To avoid putting in all the fat

And anyway keep making those delicious pastas

Without all

Without all the little sin they usually bring

Let's add salt to taste

And now yes

Let's mix these ingredients

I cooked the pasta well and then drained the water

Don't even think of rinsing it

We need that little water the pasta leaves

And I also finished cooking the chicken alone

You have two options

One: if you want to add the cream there

You have to warm it first so that it won't curdle

I chose better: I'm going to cook the chicken separately

Our pasta and we will add all the ingredients like this

Taking advantage that this pasta is still a bit warm

The advantage here is that you can eat it cold

Or hot, whichever you like

So even for a picnic you can take it super easily

Let's add the chicken now

Look: I seasoned them well with pepper

With salt, the onion and the garlic we had added

It's already well seasoned as you can see

It's still warm

There it goes

Let's put that onion

Let it go in there too because it will add more flavor

And we have here

Our mixture we made with 'La Morena' chipotle

Note

Yes, it all depends if you want it thicker

Or if you want it more liquid

If you want it thicker add only half a cup of milk

If you want it more liquid

It can be one cup of milk

It's your choice. So let's add

Now the tasty sauce that's going to give the special

Chipotle touch to this recipe

And after this you have two options: you can use

Cheese

Manchego

Or Chihuahua cheese or fresh cheese, it's your choice

I'm going to use one cup of Chihuahua cheese

And let's mix all this

Oh! Just look there: how delicious it looks

The same heat of the pasta

And of the chicken will help the cheese melt

Or the other option you have is like this: it can stay cold

Like a delicious elbow salad with chicken

Or else, still if you want

You can put it a bit in the oven so the sauce gets thicker

And that cheese melts and gets a little gratin

If you want to put it in the oven

350 degrees Fahrenheit, 180 Celsius, keep an eye

From 5 to 10 minutes and this comes out

Wonderful! See how tasty, but like this it's already great, ready to eat

Set it on the table

My chipotle 'Mac and Cheese' I didn't even put it in the oven

I just put it to gratin a little

And, you don't know, it was two little minutes

Just look how beautiful it looks

Delicious!

And then look how—tasty! You're going to drive crazy

Whoever goes to your gathering, or your husband, or the parents

So that they make it. I hope you like it
