I am SUCH a sucker for Mexican food.
If I had it my way, I could enjoy all the extra fat, calories, sodium, and chemicals that typically come with Mexican food, without any repercussions. But you and I both know thats not how it works. 
My version is not only clean, its delicious and healthy and will have you coming back for more because it's both tasty and nourishes your body – not because it fuels food addiction. There is a lot of carbs and cheese, so I don't suggest eating this recipe every day, but once a month certainly won't hurt.
