Latin cuisine are really tasty. Imagine the dishes with exotic flavors and really hot spices, you might want to try it over and over again. Latin dishes like beef, tortillas, rice dishes and, of course, flan really spell out Y-U-M! However, if you are going to analyze Latin cooking, it can really make your heart beat faster - and I mean literally. They use oil and salt in gracious manner that you will not really feel good after. But it does not mean that you cannot have some Latin dishes in general; you can still do but you have to substitute some ingredients to keep it healthy in ways. Here is how to cook Latin the healthy way.
Do it on occasions - That's how simple it is. You can have some of your favorite quesadillas but you just have to have some once in a while. You do not have to really shy away from these types of foods as long as you are not eating oil-laden dishes day after day. Just consider it as your reward meal, the one that can remind you of the Atkins Diet.
When you are going to cook some Latin dishes and you have to use oil, substitute lard for the healthier substitute. Simply put, do not use lard. The next best thing (which should have been the best first thing) is to use olive oil. Olive oil are really healthy and it can help make your dishes tastier. Plus, it is a great natural antioxidants. Although olive oil is good, it does make the taste slightly heavier. You can use Canola oil instead.
As much as possible, use natural spices to your advantage. Although the packed 'sazon' can be your best friend to cooking, it can be a bad enemy to your health. You can use 'sazon' but minimize using it as much as possible. Use natural spices such as garlic, peppers, and onions.
