Healthy Easy Mexican: Over 140 Authentic Low-Calorie, Big-Flavor Recipes

By Velda De LA Garza

Traditional Mexican ingredients aren't just delicious; they're good for you, too: Avocados are a superfood, and so are beans and lentils. Corn is a fiber powerhouse--and what is salsa if not a fresh vegetable sauce?

In Healthy Easy Mexican, Velda de la Garza reintroduces this craveable cuisine with 140 new, lighter recipes her abuelita would approve of. From chalupas to enchiladas and nachos to tacos, she elevates whole produce and lean meats to fiesta-worthy fare with generous helpings of herbs and spices (also good for you) Here are can't-miss classics (like tamales, which date back to the Aztecs), Latin Caribbean-Mexican fusions (Slow Cooker Pork Pernil Tacos ), and Tex-Mex traditions, like the Cowboy Bread recipe passed down by Velda's grandfather.

Quick preparations with short ingredient lists will have you eating in no time, while nutrient information for every recipe steers you right. This is Healthy Easy Mexican. Buen provecho Flavorful fresh salsas and dips: Guacamole with Toasted Cumin Protein-packed meat and fish dishes: Steak Tacos with Tomatillo Sauce Filling vegetarian favorites: Mushroom and Cheese Enchiladas Plus hearty salads, rice and beans, soups, breads, desserts, and more

Totally Tasty Mexican Food

5 stars, Totally Tasty Mexican Food Healthy Easy Mexican by Velda de la Garza This cookbook would make a nice addition to your pantry shelves. It has a nice selection of Mexican food recipes. Here's a list of the recipe categories: Salsas & Dips Appetizers & Sides Soups & Breads Salads Meat & Fish Poultry Meatless Meals Rice & Beans Desserts All of the recipes are easy to prepare and quite tasty, too. Nutritional information is included for all recipes. I found some of the recipes called for boiling the tomatillos on the stove, in broth. We roast our tomatillos, it's easy for us. You can adapt the recipes to your liking. Highly recommend it. Beautiful Mexican tiles, appear throughout, and probably comes complete with color photos of at least some of the recipes, but since I have an eBook copy, the photos did not show. Warmest thanks to #netgalley for the complimentary copy of #healthyeasymexican I was under no obligation to post a review.
