Mexican

At first you’d think chimichangas would be high carb. The good news is they have low carb tortillas at the grocery store that taste the same as the traditional. Look for the low carb versions.

A spicy and refreshing salsa can jazz up any dish. Dieter Lois shared this recipe for her ZReduction-friendly salsa verde. She whipped up a batch to put over her eggs, but this would be good on just about anything.

This is a great Zola to Go! dish, perfect for those cold days for lunch.

I was shocked. I have made this casserole so many times in so many variations -- I had no idea I had never typed it up to share with all of you! I am going to give you one version here but I’ll also editorialize a bit and give you other options to experiment. This recipe is so easy it comes together in under 15 minutes and then you just bake to heat it. A novice can handle this one for sure…and a busy parent can get a kid-friendly recipe on the table fast.

This dish doesn’t have to cook long to bring you a hearty Mexican stew. It comes together in a flash. This also heats up brilliantly in the microwave at work.

This is mild, full of flavor and a huge hit around my house. It would also be wonderful served with a steak or a meaty fish, too.

If you are familiar with adobo chicken. you will recognize it as a full-flavored Mexican dish. Not all Mexican food is spicy. This is pretty mild but packs flavor punch.

This is an amazingly easy dish to make. On a diet like this Mexican or South American food would not normally be possible but this tastes authentic and has no rice or potatoes.

Fans of Mexican food will love these. Easy to make and perfect for heating leftovers. Give them a try.

It’s really a sort of Spanish-Mexican comfort food. You can, of course, make them spicy if you want to.
