With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, I figured now would be a good time to start exploring Houston’s strong Tex-Mex roots, so I’ve decided to spend the next few weeks sharing recipes that will help you celebrate this beloved day without sacrificing your diabetic foot health.
First up, Mexican-style steak and eggs breakfast, courtesy of Diabetic Gourmet magazine. Hope you enjoy!
