What we like about Mexican Goulash is that it is so thick and filling.  It’s thicker than a stew, but not as stiff as a casserole. When it came out of the test kitchen it didn’t seem right to call it stew or casserole, so we called it “goulash”. And it’s another good dish for cold weather.  It will fill your stomach and keep you powered up for hours.   Is it any wonder?  Look at the fiber content!  And by changing the spicy heat of the salsa – mild, medium, or hot – you can take this dish from mild to spicy in an instant.  Avocado is a delicious topper, but you can save yourself about 80 calories and 7 g of fat by leaving it off.  Just sayin’.
