Forget about fast-food burritos, heavy creams and fried tortillas, in this episode Marcela will show how traditional Mexican food is unprocessed and healthy, as she whips up four especially 'healthy Mexican" recipes: grilled steak tacos rolled in lettuce leaves; spicy shrimp broth with lime and cilantro; Mexican chayote squash with cool yogurt dip; and a citrus spritzer sweetened with agave syrup.
Get ready to fire up the grill -- because in this episode Marcela's putting together a 'taquiza' or Mexican cookout. First up, juicy Beer Marinated Skirt Steak served with fresh salsa and grilled green onions. Two great side dishes to complement this meat come next, consisting of Sautéed Potatoes with Chorizo (Mexican sausage) and Creamy Poblano Pepper Strips (or "Rajas"). And to wash it all down, a refreshing pitcher of Watermelon & Mint "Agua Fresca" or fruit-blended water.
