A huge reason for not eating healthy is the expense. People will try to find any excuse to not eat healthy, but money is a reasonable one. Fortunately, there are ways to eat healthy on a budget. The way I think about it is- you pay now for quality food and good health, or you pay later for medical bills and a bad quality of life. Either way you are paying.
For all those on a budget, flank steak is a wonderful choice. Many people have a problem with their flank steak coming out too tough, but this recipe will guarantee a tender outcome. It has a Mexican flavor to it, which I personally love!

Hi there. Great recipe! I am going to feature it on my Facebook page today. I need a slow cooker so much. My old one died and there are so many great recipes out there…
