I’ve loved Mexican food since I was a kid, and those cravings for good Mexican food still haven’t gone away. On occasion I’ll still opt for an old favorite if it’s time for a “treat”. But for those days I’m trying to stay on track and keep my calories within check, we all need to find options that are healthy. This is an option that surely fits the bill.
