I love Mexican food! Being half-Hispanic and growing up in Texas, Mexican food is a way of life for me. While in college I might not have eaten the healthiest versions of Mexican food out there, as an adult I love finding a recipe I used to eat and transforming it into a healthy option. As soon as Cinco de Mayo hits and summer starts creeping in, I find myself reaching for these recipes weekly. If you’re craving fresh and delicious options for a healthy Mexican meal, then have I got some great recipes for you!
Just because it’s Cinco de Mayo doesn’t mean that you can’t have Mexican all year round (like we do)! But if you are going to any Cinco de Mayo celebration or just want to create your own mini-celebration at home, then you’re in the right place. These healthy Mexican recipes are the perfect meals to share and can be doubled to create more. Tacos, casseroles, and side dishes are the easiest kinds of recipes to take to any fiesta, so you won’t have to worry about making a dish all can enjoy. If you love spicy food then feel free to kick these up a notch by adding jalapeños, paprika, chili powder, or additional salsa! These recipes keep the hotness to a minimum so that you can add your take.
