Since it’s Cinco de Mayo and Meatless Monday I thought I’d roll it all together in a flour tortilla and make a blog burrito – combining the two!
But first I need to give myself a little pat on the butt back because I went to yoga today!! Ommmmmm.
I always feel so much better when I go. I am determined to make this a weekly commitment! It’s good for me.
In other pat on the back news… I had a carton of ice cream in my shopping cart today and I put it back. Don’t get me wrong – I’m PRO ice cream. But, I need to clean up my diet and I’ve been slipping.

Anyway. Your local Monican is ready to share her favorite recipes that are Mexican (like me) and Meatless (like me on Mondays).
My Favorite Vegetarian Mexican Recipes:
1. Paloma – skinny cocktail. For when you’re too lazy or drunk to work a blender and make a margarita.
2. Tofu Tacos – only two ingredients to make the ‘meat’ and it’s so good!
3. Chile Relleno Casserole. Confession: I like this better than ‘real’ chile rellenos.
6. Black bean and corn salad – great for a BBQ or potluck! It’s not an authentic Mexican dish, but it involves salsa which means you can scoop it up with chips, which means you’ll need a margarita to wash it down…
7. Black bean and Corn Tostada – video!

Who’s your favorite Mexican Blogger?
You had me at Mexican food. This is such a good list of meatless Mexican dishes! Usually if I’m going meatless I just grab a bean or guacamole taco, but I’ll have to branch out and try some of these. I’ll take any excuse to eat more Mexican food!
Chilaquiles
Agua Fresca- Jamaica Hibiscus
Google – “Who’s your favorite Mexican blogger”. (golf clap) Well played my friend, well played.
I love tofu tacos too and the eggs with avocado yummy they are one of my staples!
I really do LOVE margaritas. And I want the ones that are frozen, full of calories and sugar and really bad for you…which is why – since I am 49 – I don’t drink them like I used to in my 30s. But I indulged in two last night (a raspberry & a mango ) and they were both delightful! No regrets.
Carnitas
Sangria (really good stuff)
Monican!

I love all things Mexican-food, drinks, beaches, cute sundresses, the list goes on and on. 🙂
that pizza + the omelette + the salad = yum, now please.
Quesadillas…Mojito…Monican (of course 😉
BTW Blog burrito….LOL!
I love Mexican food, it’s so fresh and perfect for the summer
I really love a good fajita! Loving all the Mexican recipes! My favorite type of food!
chicken fajitas are the best!!! But I guess for mondays.. veggie fajitas?
I think tamales might be my favorite mexican dish, so good! and of course you’re my favorite mexican blogger 🙂
I celebrated a meatless monday cinco de mayo too! Your photos are mouthwatering.
Love some good tacos. With the double corn tortillas, good meat, and just a bit of fresh salsa, cilantro, onion, etc. Ground beef “tacos” in hard shells make me cry.
My favorite mexican dish has to be chilaquiles! Mexican drink is agua fresca de jamaica 🙂
as for fav mexican blogger, YOU ofcourse!! seriously there need to be more non-white fitness and health bloggers! do you know of any more that you might recommend? 🙂
Sangria! Sangria! Ay ay ay! Thanks for the laughs (and the recipes), Monica. Now to go eat a bowl of cereal in celebration of Cinco de Drinko.
I love all things Mexican, most of all Alejandro Fernandez.
Pollo Encacahuatado, alote, michelada & tres leches. Ugh I’m a yoga wanna be. I always feel akward whenever I have done it.
That meatless mexican pizza looks like something that I have to try this week! Love making pizza at home!
I would have to say mole is one of my favorite (central) Mexican dishes. I didn’t care for it at first, but my ex’s mom made it when I went to visit him in Cuernavaca and I have liked it ever since. People cannot fathom combining chicken and chocolate, but if it was good enough for Montezuma, it’s good enough for me! 🙂
