Food is such an important part of Mexican culture. But with so many fast-casual Mexican chains serving up unhealthy fare, it's all too easy to overlook the many healthy dishes in traditional Mexican cooking. And health-conscious lovers of Mexican food want to enjoy these foods while maintaining a diet that lowers their risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Enter Healthy Easy Mexican. This book shows that it's easy to make flavourful Mexican meals that are lower in calories and fat. It contains over 160 healthy, authentic, traditional Mexican foods with few ingredients and practical preparation times - as well as cooking tool guides and lists of nutritious ingredient substitutes.

Healthy Easy Mexican brings the rich heritage of Mexican cooking to a new generation of home cooks eager to discover the pleasures of the healthy Mexican table.
