I am mexican, here in Mexico we do NOT know chimichangas, that is mexican-american food I think. I read at once in internet that it was invented in California. The drink that you mentioned mojito, is cuban I think. A lot of people outside Mexico don't know about our seafood, which is very healthy I think, that would be a good article. Congratulations, you are making a great job with this site. hi Nicole, you are so beautiful, congratulations!!

The hotter the better... even habanero hot! I have a cupboard full of hot sauces (up to 1.5 million scoville units for you chiliheads). I have read reports that a few of us lucky ones (approximately 4%) have digestive systems that releases endorphines when eating hot foods. That's right, I get "high" from eating hot foods. Good thing it is natural and healthy. There are also some articles touting cancer preventing traits being discovered. My biggest problem is that I love Mexican food so much I eat too much of it! I now try to order the lunch size menu even at dinner if possible. Great article! I love Mexican food! The hotter the better… even habanero hot!

All antioxidants are great for fighting UV radiation especially those found in green tea. Thanks for your question!

I guess from UVs. But I'm sure that the article was about tomatoes. Kind regards, José Hi,

But I’m sure that the article was about tomatoes.

I love it!!!! I have figured out that I have to watch what I eat at the restaurants though, because I have figured out that it is not all good for you - like the fried stuff. Know something funny? I fixed baked enchiladas last night and didn't even realize it was cinco de mayo until after that. Dr. Nicole. I am having a very hard time contacting you. You had a question for me? I filled out your contact form twice. I think it may have gone to your spam folder. I love to hear that Mexican is good for you. I love it!!!!

I'm working hard to change my lifestyle and that included avoiding alcohol. I still enjoy a chicken enchilada every once in a while, but we make them at home with much healthier ingredients.

Yikes! Good thing I don't drink those too often. . Is it also true that hot peppers are good for us as well? Seems I read that somewhere. Also, do rice and beans (when eaten together) make a complete protein? . I love you broke down the nutritional values on each food. That makes choices a lot easier. . Happy Cinco de Mayo to you too! 1000 calories for a margarita? Yikes! Good thing I don’t drink those too often.
