Street Style Chicken Tacos-secret diet weapon

ToddGT5

I just wanted to share what I have found to be a nice convienent option for my busy schedule. During the early stages of my new nutritional life style, I was searching for good alternatives at some of our local fast food places and found that the traditional style tacos with soft corn tortillas, chicken and onions and cilantro, where fairly low in calories and fat. I found many places have versions of these and through tracking my diet results, have found them to be good, when I'm in a hurry or just going to a fast food place with others.

Here's some I have found:
Carl's JR/Green Burrito - Street Taco - Chicken, 120 cals, 4 grams of fat.
Del Taco - Taco Al Carbon - Chicken, 150 cals, 4 grams of fat
Baja Fresh - Original Baja Taco - Chicken, 230 cals, 10 grams of fat
Also have had good luck with catering truck street tacos and small local places.

Obviously I try to eat a lot of other healthy foods and meals and watch my calories, carbs, fat and everything else. It's just for me, these have been a great arrow in the quiver.

They have been great for me, since I love mexican food so much. They have been replacing sauce and cheese drenched enchilladas and whole serving or more of tortilla chips.

I do put lots of salsa and some jalapenos on them.
