I am sure I have all of you covered for a variety of healthier Mexican dishes so you can host an incredible Mexican Fiesta. On my list for future posts include:

To make this incredible Mexican Green Rice aka: Mexicana Arroz Verde; I used my Homemade Salsa Verde . I am going to beg you not to buy the green stuff in a bottle anymore. I was not fond of salsa verde, especially the one in the bottle, until I made my own.
