Viva Cinco De Mayo (Long Live the 5th of May). Latin food is one of my favorite cuisines because I love the option of having spice to warm my soul. In addition, I’m a super fan of savory, comfort food. The beans, spices, cheese, and flavors all add to the hearty dishes. To celebrate this holiday, I wanted to get healthy Latin recipes from my nutrition friends. Here are 27 Favorite Latin Dinner Recipes From Dietitians. Buen Provecho!
