Recipe: Tortilla-Crusted Pork

This pork dish is a Tex-Mex lover’s dream. We recommend serving it with both the Pico de Gallo and Tomatillo Salsa.

Healthy Benefits: Avocados are an excellent source of folate and fiber. They’re packed full of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and have been found to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides.

Recipe: Avocado Fruit Salad

Feel free to indulge in Scarlet Margaritas. They have about half the calories of the traditional beverage.
