Mexican food can be prepared in mild or spicy versions depending upon the type of chiles used in a particular dish. Mexican food can be found in fast food establishments as well as in Mexican-themed restaurants. Salsa is almost always offered in Mexican restaurants along with a basket of tortilla chips. It is a very healthy condiment to keep on hand, and not just for using on Mexican food. Try salsa on a baked potato or atop a serving of brown rice. Years ago, lard was the standard ingredient used for refrying pinto beans or when cooking Mexican or Spanish rice. Today many Mexican restaurants and fast food companies offer menus with selections that are not cooked in lard, but in healthier soy, canola or nut oils.
