This is another easy and healthy recipe we’ve found at The Hispanic Food Network. This one comes from our friends at Taste of Home. Another one of my favorite websites. Mexican food has a reputation for being cooked in lard and not being very healthy. But we’ve found a healthy Mexican recipe we know your going to find high in flavor but not so much on calories. This is a dinner that will leave you with a wonderful after taste not a big belly. Hope you enjoy!
