Mexican recipes for the Healthy Foodie

Mexican pizza -- healthy version

While it can be hard to "eat healthy" at most Mexican restaurants, the main ingredients in Mexican cuisine actually are full of excellent nutrients. It's just that at restaurants we tend to load up on fried tortilla chips, sometimes in the over-the-top form of nachos, followed by fried entrees and/or dishes with too much high-fat cheese and sour cream. But it doesn't have to be that way!
Corn, avocado, fresh salsa made with tomatoes, garlic and onion, crispy cabbage-based slaws -- those are foods that should be in every healthy foodie's diet.
