We LOVE the flavors of the Southwest!! The tang of fresh limes, the smokiness of chipotle, the heat of chile- all of these flavors combined with an abundance of green-light foods makes for a perfect dinner for "Taco Tuesday".
Visit the flavors of the Southwest with this bright and beautiful bowl any night of the week!!
