Chicken Fajitas
This is probably my easiest healthy Mexican dish. I’ll show you how to make it just like a restaurant… if not better.
Healthy Mexican Recipes
I love Mexican food, and these are my best healthy Mexican recipes! You’ll find everything from easy weeknight meals, like fajitas, tacos, soups, and salads, to dips and snacks like guacamole and fresh salsa with baked tortilla chips. They’re made with simple ingredients, naturally gluten-free, and packed with flavor and just the right amount of spices. Perfect for Cinco de Mayo, too!
My Favorite Healthy Mexican Meals For Dinner
I choose healthy Mexican food for dinner almost every week! It’s usually super easy, quick, and uses lots of fresh vegetables and protein — all my favorite things. If that’s you too, try some of my go-to options:
Beef Barbacoa
I based this recipe on the one I love from Chipotle, so you should make it if you’re a fan of that! My favorite way to serve it is over greens with lots of fixings, but you can also turn it into barbacoa tacos.
Carne Asada
This easy carne asada recipe has the best marinade for juicy meat, with just 7 common ingredients! It’s perfect for tacos, salad, and more.
Taco Bowl
I think a taco bowl is healthy Mexican food at its best! You can prep it ahead and your family members can each top theirs how they like. You’ll love the sauce!
Cilantro Lime Chicken
You’ll love this easy cilantro lime chicken recipe, with a flavorful marinade and simple prep! It’s a zesty, flavorful chicken dinner.
Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Try this stuffed poblano peppers recipe with Mexican taco seasoned chicken & cheese filling. Simple ingredients + takes just 25 minutes!
Healthy Mexican Casserole
Make this Mexican casserole with ground beef, veggies, and melty cheese for an easy one-pan dinner. Load it up with your favorite toppings!
Pozole
This pork soup is one of the Mexican food recipes I’m most proud of, because I modeled it after the one I had in Mexico. It’s worth the effort!
TIP: I highly recommend loading these up with toppings!
All these healthy Mexican recipes benefit from a sprinkle of shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeño, red onions, taco slaw, tomatoes, black beans, avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Oh, and a skinny margarita on the weekends. 😉
For the meats, you can serve them over rice (or my cilantro lime cauliflower rice), with a side dish like Mexican street corn, over greens for a salad (my personal fave), stuffed into your favorite tortillas, or even in cheese taco shells.

Taco Salad
Whip up my easy taco salad recipe in just 20 minutes, using common ingredients you probably have! It’s easy, healthy, and family friendly.
Salsa & More Dips
If I’m making a healthy Mexican meal, I can never resist adding a dip — or 2 or 3. Pick your favorites and make them with me!
You can serve them with my baked tortilla chips, almond flour tortilla chips, or sometimes I just use mini bell peppers or thinly sliced radishes for scooping.
