These are the best Mexican inspired Haystacks I have ever had! Haystacks are so good you are going to want to eat them all the time. It’s such an easy go-to meal that’s summery, cool and delicious! This is one of those recipes that you quickly file in your memory and rarely need the recipe for. Mexican inspired Haystacks are lite and packed with flavor, perfect for a hot summer day. My family especially loves it when I make this meal so I always make extra.
What makes Mexican inspired Haystacks so good?
It’s the nutty/citrusy flavor of the cilantro paired with the sweetness of the mango. And the sweet and savory flavor of the salsa mixed with ground beef resting on top of cilantro flavored rice. This meal is so divine, of course you are going to love it!
Obviously having the freshest ingredients is what sets this meal apart. Make sure to do your shopping a day or two before you make this meal for the best flavors. Before you get started on the meat, toss the rice and some cilantro in your rice cooker or instant pot. (I prefer to use my rice cooker to make my rice since I got it before Instant pots were cool.) My exact rice cooker can’t be found however I’ll link one that is most similar. I also have an Instant pot and I’ll link that as well . Once you get that started you can begin prepping the veggies and fruit. Working this way makes everything go faster.

Buen Provencho!
This recipe is easily converted to fit the candida diet with a few simple changes. Make sure you are using Quinoa, brown rice or wild rice. Substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. You will need to buy sugar free salsa or make your own without adding any sugar. If you are on the strict candida diet you need to omit the mangoes completely and substitute with a less sugary fruit. You could omit the fruit topping completely if need be. Most importantly, enjoy your new candida diet recipe!
