Roots of Healthy Living

I love Mexican Food. I was concerned that eliminating dairy products meant giving it up. How do you do Mexican Food without cheese and sourcream? It's actually quite easy because there are so many delicious flavors still out there. With the richness in beans and avocados, I never miss the dairy...and I feel great instead of heavy after eating.

This is a variation of a recipe I found several months ago:

In a blender mix:

1 can of pinto beans
1/4 cup Nutrional Yeast
small handful of raw cashews
1 TB Chili Powder
1 tsp onion powder
2-3 TB salsa (I like to use 2 TB red and 1 TB green)


This is perfect for a dip by itself. Or spoon some on corn tortillas, roll them up and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. I like to serve them with homeade guacamole. The nutritional yeast is what gives it a "cheesy" flavor.

My kids balk at a lot of the "healthy" food I make but they like this one ALOT!!!

I'll do an article on Nutritional Yeast soon, so watch for it.
