Quick Mexican Recipes

Healthier Mexican favorites ready in 30 minutes or less.

We love the zesty flavor of traditional Mexican food, but Mexican recipes can often be loaded with hidden calories, fat and sodium. Our lighter recipes for Mexican favorites, such as burritos, guacamole, huevos rancheros, fajitas, margaritas and more, are healthier Mexican meals full of fiber-rich vegetables, lean meats and spicy sauces. Whip up one of these fresh and healthy Mexican recipes and have a healthy side dish, dinner or drink ready in under 30 minutes.



Coctel de Camarones
This classic Mexican shrimp cocktail is usually served as a starter, but makes a quick, refreshing main dish on a busy night. Add some of your favorite hot sauce for extra kick.

Serve with a cold beer and vinegar-dressed slaw........
