Mexican Food
Using basic ingredients, you can prepare low cost, pleasing meals with Mexican food that the whole family will enjoy. Hot sauces and salsa will add flavor and spice. Try mild varieties for children and others who do not enjoy hot and spicy foods. Jalapeño peppers are hot - use them sparingly or remove some or all of the seeds to cut down on the heat. Also, wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after chopping.
