I love Mexican food. The flavors, the spices, and fresh vegetable. SO delicious.
But sometimes when you go out to eat Mexican food, it ain't so healthy, right? Well guess, what? I've got a recipe that you will love AND that is rock-star healthy. :-)
Here is my favorite recipe for Vegan, Mexican pizza!

Directions for corn tortillas:
Place all ingredients in food processor. Spread evenly on dehydrator sheet and dehydrate for 10-12 hours

P.S. I love to use essential oils in addition to, or instead of traditional herbs because they have 70% or more of the therapeutic benefits than the actual plant.
Basil oil - improves alertness, memory and metabolism, aids is digestion, and fights depression, fatigue and headaches
Cilantro oil - helps with anti-aging, is a blood cleanser and natural detoxifier, fights inflammation and aids in cardiovascular health
Oregano oil - aids in digestion, is an immune stimulant and fights bacterial and viral infections
