    Ah Ceviche is so good... some people might object to the raw fish idea though.

    skinnytaste.com has some awesome Mexican recipes under the 'Cinco de Mayo' heading. The enchiladas are my favorite!

    Bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers.

    Cut jalapenos open by slitting on side of it. carefully remove seeds.

    Mix together fat free cream cheese, diced onions, bacon bits, garlic powder and diced jalapenos or green chilis. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon into the hollowed out jalapeno. Stuff 1 cheddar li smokie in with the cream cheese mixture.

    Wrap each jalapeno with one slice uncooked bacon and pin it all together with a toothpick. Place on a broiler pan.

    Bake at 350 for about 15-20 min until bacon is cooked. Serve hot or cold.

    1 bacon wrapped jalapeno is 101 calories, 7grams protien, 6 grams fat

    These are a HIT at parties, football games, etc. I plan on making these for our New Years Eve game night!

    I believe the best thing to make that is healthy for you is ceviche. Its shrimp,crabmeat,avocado, lemon juice, onions, tomatoes and dont forget the celantro!! If you dont want to use shrimp you can sub with a type of white fish.

    ic. roasted tomatos 2 chiplote peppers --blender till smooth
    put in pan reduce until consistince of tomato paste--
    throw in mexican crema or sour cream --
    add raw protien (shrimp is what recipe calls for) let it cook--
    serve it w/ tostada's, chips or tortillas

    its a little spicy 1 chipolte will do--p.s. scrape out the seeds, it will be less spicy +you can control all the calories going in
