Many Americans will eat Mexican food at least once or twice a week, and although Mexican recipes are well loved in the US authentic Mexican recipes are often much healthier due to less fat and smaller portion sizes. The traditional Mexican foods contain a lot of vitamins and proteins, spices and fresh vegetables.

So again the question arises.. is Mexican food healthy for my kids? Well Authentic Mexican recipes are because they are normally low in fat. America however has given Mexican food a bad name in some respects by fattening up the dishes making them not such a great choice. If you are heading out to eat with your family try and find a restaurant that will serve authentically prepared and cooked dishes, not only is it healthier it will taste so much better!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and what better way to start it than with a tasty Breakfast dish? Here at Mexican Focus we search far and wide for the tastiest Mexican dishes.

In traditional Mexico the majority of people go for Breakfast Tacos, which are relatively soft tortilla tacos that are filled up with several different stews.

Another option we can recommend is that you try our Mexican Breakfast Burritos recipe - this dish stuffed with cheese, sausage and eggs will absolutely melt in your mouth!!

Certainly if stuck for ideas you can always pull out a tortilla, add in some refried beans and call it your breakfast ( and many do ). However why not add a little spice to life and go for some variety!
