Healthy Cinco de Mayo Tips

3. Cook from scratch. Buying already prepared foods may speed up your cooking, but to truly control what you are eating, cook as much as you can yourself. Instead of buying canned refried beans, try making your own with my homemade, high-fiber bean dip recipe, which is thick enough to substitute for a side dish. Fajitas are usually an iffy dish to order out as the signature sizzle comes from clarified butter, but fajitas at home are a simple healthy option. Choose lean proteins like chicken and seafood cooked in a non-stick pan, or opt for vegetarian fillers, like a colorful mix of sauteed peppers, onions, carrots and zucchini for a festive and healthy Cinco de Mayo meal.
