A final fox tip
For a vegetarian version of this dish, substitute the chorizo with soy chorizo or black beans. You can also add a sprinkle of Mexican cheese like Cotija for extra flavor. The kiddos can help wash the veggies and squeeze the lime. This dish is a wonderful way to fuel your day as it creates a balance of proteins, healthy fats and fiber.
