Creating a healthy dinner - Mexican Style

Mexican food is a style of food is an explosion of flavor, but unfortunately usually loaded of calories and fat. With a little planning and creativity, however, you can have a delicious Mexican food is really good for you.

Many Mexico meat dishes use pork or beef. Make a habit of replacing or lean beef or chicken as meat. The main dishes such as fajitas, enchiladas, tacos or are very versatile and can use almost any type of lean meat, including seafood.

The next most important ingredient in any Mexican dish is cheese. Use low-fat cheese instead, or experiment with different types of cheese like Swiss or mozzarella. These two cheeses tend to be low in fat and still taste great. If the recipe calls cream cheese, just use a version of low fat or no fat. Another option is to slightly reduce the amount of cheese used in the dish. While cheese is a great source of protein, it also packs in quite a few calories and fat grams.

Nata is a common ingredient found in either a plate or as a Completion side. Garnish, could be eliminated altogether or using creative substitutions such as yogurt, no fat, avocado, and salsa. If you need a recipe, try low-fat or nonfat.

Refried beans are a tasty side, but they are often made with lard and therefore extremely high in fat. You can not buy fat refried beans, which are lower in calories and taste so good. Another option is to serve black beans and add different spices and vegetables. Black beans are high in protein and low in fat.

Lettuce is a Topper essential for its tacos. Instead of using traditional iceberg lettuce, with virtually no nutrition, replace a leafy green such as romaine, endive, radicchio, arugula, or spinach. You can always mix these other types of field greens with iceberg lettuce a very healthy combination.

Tortillas are perhaps the staple of Mexican dishes. Traditionally they have also been made with butter pig. You can buy a lot of different tortillas health conscious in the super market as low fat and low carb. The best option is to make tortillas integrals. You can also find a variety of spices and seasonings added in. You can always make your own home. All you need is flour, oil, water and salt. This could be a fun way to involve the whole family.

When Sauta © Ing vegetables or meats, reduced use of oil and use a version lighter, like olive oil. Only vegetables saut © until crisp so conserving their nutrition.

Great tasting organic seasoning.

by M. Leahy from Ohio on 2010-06-09
I have converted my kitchen to organic spices and had been making all my spice mixes from scratch. It seems like a lot of work but worth it for knowing what's in our food. I had been using Simply Organic Taco Seasoning, so thought I'd try their fajita seasoning. I'm not sure why they only specify chicken as the meat, but I have used it for beef and shrimp. It has a great flavor and I plan to continue to use this and their taco seasoning.

How i became the sauce goddess. the sauce goddess story begins with my dad. he loved to barbecue and i loved to help him. he was on a mission to create a non-smoky bbq sauce because there was nothing available on the market back then but now there is because of sauce goddess! dad was a pioneer in the sauce industry and did not even know it. his grilling sauce is famous among our family and friends. after years of helping dad, my love for grilling and cooking grew. my favorite place was the kitchen or behind the grill creating all types of recipes. i would experiment on my family and friends. everyone loved the magic sauce and it began to build a reputation. finally, after much encouragement and many dares from friends, i knew my mission was to bring dad’s very unique sauces to the world and start a food company. by this time i was following in dad’s steps creating my own sauces! i have no idea how it started but people began to refer to me as the “sauce goddess”. the sauce goddess line of products now includes: sauces: sweet & spicy grill glaze, sticky sweet grill glaze, gluten free big & tangy sauce and the sweet red devil sauce. spice rubs: original super chunk, bbq sweet heat, moroccan twist and latin heat. sauce goddess is very proud of the success and awards we've won but our biggest accomplishment is helping busy people enjoy delicious, healthy, affordable and innovative home cooked meals quick and easy whether it be on the grill or in the kitchen.
