Mexican cuisine is widely popular in the US. On every corner of most of the cities you can find a taqueria. However Mexican traditional food is very heavy with lots of fat and salt. But, fortunately for us, we can make an amazing Mexican style infused dish and be sure it’s great for our body. How can you do it? Make a vegan alternative!
This afternoon we were in a mood for a Fiesta Bowl with cabbage tacos. Yum!
