HEALTH & BENEFITS

Chicken is a good source of lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing muscle tissue. Bell peppers are loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants, which help boost the immune system. Tomatoes contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that has been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. Guacamole and sour cream, while high in fat, contain heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that can help lower bad cholesterol levels.
