Make "bean dip" out of anything. - cauliflower, broccoli, lentils, peas, avocado......just add cumin, garlic, onion, red chili powder....
and dip with celery, carrots, cukes, etc. Even my kids like this.

Hi - i love mexican also :-) If you check out the food list, i've added a recipe for Chicken Fajita Casserole. It's always a hit at my house even with two young kids! It can be eaten alone or with tortilla chips.

Good stuff. Should get my mum and dad to make some of these recipes instead of the same boring food all the time.

Ok.....anyone have a kick *kitten* salsa, spicy or not.

I make my own during the summer but its only ok. Looking for something amazing, restaurant style goodness.

Here's a version of salsa I make at home: Roast the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno all drizzled with olive oil in the oven first. Then remove the skins from the tomato and jalapeno. If you want it spicy leave the jalapeno seeds, otherwise remove them for mild. Put all of that with cilantro, salt, pepper and more olive oil in the food processor and serve either warm or cold.

I mix together brown rice, black beans, salsa and a little taco seasoning. Put in a tortilla and fold into a burrito. Top with a little extra salsa or taco sauce.

I'm going to a mexican restaurant tomorrow evening for dinner, what do you suggest?

I don't really like fish, so was thinking maybe just a salad, but considering I eat salad for lunch / dinner most days, it'd be nice to have something different.

We have tacos once per week in our house. Most of the time fish tacos, and that's one of our days to get fish in . I don't eat any grain or startches due to digestive issues, so I make the below tortillas/crepes. They are filling and protien packed - much better than the carb-loaded ones you find. Roast fish/chicken/beef with taco seasoning, shred, add avacado to these tortillas and enjoy...delish!

My favorite is My fish taco recipe!

Bake talapia: in oven sprinkled with chili powder, onion powder, lime juice, and a little sea salt (drizzle olive oil lightly)

My favorite mango salsa: chop up the fruit from 1 mango, a handful of fresh cilantro, 2 large tomatoes, a finely chopped slice of onion (or 2 scallions),( you can add a pepper of your choice if you want spicy) the Juice of 1 lime, and sea salt to taste

To assemble-
Your choice of tortilla based on diet needs, 1/2 filet of tilapia, some shredded romaine lettuce, and 2-3 tbsp of your fresh salsa.

I have done this with shrimp instead of talapia too

I love to make enchiladas and they happen to actually be relatively healthy

Here my recipe:

You'll need

1 lb of 93% lean ground beef
8-12 yellow corn tortillas (these tend be smaller- great for smaller portions
1 cup of Monterrey Jack Cheese
1 Packet of McCormick Enchilada Sauce
1 8 oz can of tomato sauce
5-6 green onions sliced (if desired)
9x13" cake pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Brown the beef and empty out the extra grease, thoroughly wet down your corn tortillas so they don't crack when you wrap them. Place a spoon full of beef onto tortilla, sprinkle a little bit of cheese inside, and wrap up, setting opening side down onto cake pan (or whatever you've got). After you're done putting all the enchiladas in the pan, spread prepared enchilada sauce all over the tortillas and sprinkle remaining cheese and green onions on the top. Bake for 15 minutes and Enjoy This is my favorite and it takes about a half hour to make 1 enchilada is figured out to be about 150 calories
