We love Mexican food at my house. However, the typical sides of beans & rice sometimes left us feeling some guilt from eating so few vegetables with dinner. This side incorporates lots of veggies & tons of Mexican flavor. Without all the guilt. If you are really watching your waist try reduced fat sour cream or plain yogurt.
