I apologize that I haven't shared many recipes in a while. I love experimenting with new things, but I also like remaking some of my favorite recipes, which is what I've been doing lately.
We're in a new year and lots of people are probably looking to become healthier, I want to remind everybody that we can still enjoy our favorite foods while living a healthy lifestyle. Mexican food is one of the foods that I can't live without. Typically it's high in fat and carbs which is what scares people. If you love Mexican food as much as I do, give this low fat recipe a try!
