Hello Friends!

I hope your week is off to a good start. We are enjoying the cool weather of the season and enjoying the changing season. I have also been incorporating lighter meals into our meal plan for the month.

Better living will be a little different this year. Looking for new recipes because meal prep can be challenging. A survey conducted by OnePoll found that 45% of respondents hope to diversify the types of cuisine they cook. However, it can be intimidating to gather the varied ingredients needed for new types of cuisines, especially when you want to choose better-for-you ingredients. To help with that, today I am sharing a delicious Mexican recipe to put together quickly.

I love simple recipes like this one because I can use fresh ingredients I already have on hand and the amount of clean-up is minimal. Additionally, I can reduce saturated fats and cholesterol in meals easily with simple swaps, such as substituting butter with Mazola® Corn Oil​.

I also love the way all the flavors come together in a delicious meal in just minutes too.

This soup is wonderful so and is perfect for a chilly evening or a rainy day.

One of the best things about this recipe is that it can be made in about 30 minutes with just a few ingredients.
