I'm looking for some light, heart-healthy Mexican recipes for a friend who hails from the Southwest.

For weeks he has been fed a generous diet of Southern comfort foods, as the recipient of a loving church's bereavement meals.

But those wonderful Southern comfort foods are usually packed with fat and calories, and are not the doctor's orders for someone who is trying to lose weight.

I'm hoping to find some inspiration at My Recipes, then let my creative interpretations kick in.
