And of course, salsa. Oh, not the dance. That's the original Mexican health food. Skip the fried chips and use salsa as a sauce

Hi, I'm Dr. Soden here. Do you like Mexican food but find lean Mexican food is harder to find than cheap gas?
Well actually, there's plenty to order on most Mexican menus that you won't regret in the morning. Think fajitas, black beans, pure guacamole, ceviche,
grilled chicken or fish, veggie enchiladas, hold the cheese, and classics like arroz con pollo, chicken
and rice, but with brown rice, camarones, also known as shrimp, and of course, salsa.
Oh, not the dance. That's the original Mexican health food. Skip the fried chips and use salsa as a sauce
or a dip for everything above. Tomatoes are stellar sources of folate, potassium, and fiber.
Onions and garlic are bursting with flavonoids, vitamin C, and blood sugar-regulating chromium. Just skip the fried tortilla chips and enjoy lots of salsa
with your healthy Mexican favorites. [AUDIO LOGO]
