Easy Mexican Skillet
I always find that the recipes that you don't think about...turn out the best! This
is a delicious and healthy 15 minute meal that the entire family will enjoy. If you are doing a low carb diet omit the pasta and corn. It is still easy and delicious!
I also like the clean up with this recipe, which is not much at all. If you like play around with it and add some Jalapenos or sliced green peppers. You can add hot sauce also for a little extra heat.
I use the fresh chopped salsa that you can find in the produce section of the grocery. It has less sodium, carbs, and is as close to fresh as making your own. It is usually the same price or less then the jarred kind. Top with sour cream if you like.
I would love to hear from you! Enjoy!
