Burritos

We love Mexican food at our house, but the seasoning packets are full of unwanted preservatives and additives (and lots of sodium).  So, let's get REAL....what do you really need to properly season your Mexican dishes?  The taco seasoning recipe I use calls for chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and red pepper....that's all (and it's super yummy!)!!  If you look at the Old El Paso's Taco Seasoning Mix (25% less sodium), it has 13 ingredients listed.  The first ingredient is Maltodextrin and only five of the thirteen  ingredients are things that you would find in my kitchen (and I keep a fairly stocked kitchen)!

This taco seasoning recipe can be used in a variety of Mexican dishes, but the other night we made burritos and they were SO tasty!  I basically followed  a taco salad recipe from 100 Days of Real Food, but made it in burrito form (click here for TACO SALAD recipe).  

Hope you can enjoy a healthy, REAL food Mexican meal soon!
