From Fiona Haynes, your Guide to Low Fat Cooking
Not to be confused with Mexican Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Mexican army's victory over a much-larger French army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Although it's not a holiday in the United States, many Americans celebrate it in much the same way they celebrate St. Patrick's Day, another adopted holiday, with food, drink, and much revelry.

Chicken Enchiladas
This a is a great way to use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken. These creamy enchiladas are quick and easy to make. It's comfort food with a fraction of the fat.

Chicken and Black Bean Soup
This is one of my favorite soups. It's hearty enough to serve as a meal, needing only the addition of a little fat-free sour cream, and some crumbled baked tortilla chips.

Fiesta-Style Scallops
Add a little zing to your seafood by cooking these quick and easy fiesta-style scallops.

Tamale Pie
This delicious tamale pie pie is a family favorite. A corn-topped pie is great for my husband who can't eat anything with gluten. It doesn't really need anything to accompany it, although we sometimes have some sweet corn on the the side.
