Salt and pepper to taste
4 large flour tortillas
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack)
Salsa or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions:

Overnight Oatmeal with Blueberries and Almonds
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Pour in the almond milk and Greek yogurt into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla extract and honey/maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste. Stir the mixture well until everything is evenly combined.
Layering:
Take a jar or airtight container and begin layering your oatmeal. Start with a layer of the oat mixture, then add a handful of fresh blueberries. Repeat this process until the jar is almost full, finishing with a layer of oats on top.
Refrigerate Overnight:
Cover the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak and soften overnight. This gives the chia seeds time to expand and create a creamy consistency.
Morning Assembly:
The next morning, give the oatmeal a good stir. You can add a bit more almond milk if the mixture is too thick for your liking.
Top with Blueberries and Almonds:
Add a handful of fresh blueberries and sliced almonds on top for an extra burst of flavor and crunch.
Serve and Enjoy:
Spoon the overnight oatmeal into a bowl and savor the delicious combination of creamy oats, sweet blueberries, and crunchy almonds. Feel free to drizzle a little extra honey or maple syrup on top if you like it sweeter.
This overnight oatmeal is not only a time-saver but also a nutritious and satisfying way to start your day with a burst of energy. Customize the recipe with your favorite toppings or fruits for a personalized touch!
