Fajitas without the tortillas or a salad.0

Leave the nachos and tortillas a alone.
Have a load of chicken breast or fajita meat and salad.
Thats what I eat when I go to mexican restaurants. Bring on the MEAT!! and stack up with salad and cheese.
A few margaritas wouldnt go amiss either LOL0 -
I agree! Just eat some fajitas (steak, chicken or mix), salad. No rice, no tortilla
It's really easy and so enjoyable0 -
Fajitas, no tortillas. Taco salad, without the tortilla bowl. Add guacamole or avocados to whatever. Delicious.0

Why undermine her?0 -
Ooo. Mexican food always gets me. Good luck.
Avoid the rice, tortilla chips, rice, and tortillas. Maybe look for some grilled chicken with a small veggie side.0 -
I usually find a grilled chicken and veggie dish - but the grilled veg is usually cooked in an oil bath...but black beans aren't so bad. My problem is the chips - they're my achilles heel.
I bargain with myself and get an Ice-T sans sugar and eat just a few chips vs my old routine of a large margarita and 2 bowls of chips.
The more authentic places vs your Tex-mex should have decent fish items to choose from. If all else fails, I'd try fajitas.0 -
Mexican food is my kryptonite! I usually cave and have my regular bean and cheese burrito with a side of beans, rice, sour cream and guacamole. I know that isn't helpful.
You could go with a black bean soup, gazpacho and tell them no chips please!0 -
Fajitas are a great idea! Just pass on the tortillas!0
-
This is supposed to be a no-brainer, but I'll say it anyway: skip the chips and salsa.0
-
Margaritas!!! :drinker:0
-
I usually do fajitas with no tortillas, no rice & beans or whatever their camarones (shrimp) dish is. Most Mexican places have at least one camarones dish - usually it's jumbo shrimp sauteed in garlic and spices. I usually allow myself about a dozen chips with salsa.0
-
A huge marinated steak...any Mexican restaurant worth it's salt will have marinated meat0
-
PS where are you going in IL so I can judge if it's authentic enough?0
-
Camarones rancheros, and skip the rice and tortillas. Just shrimp and veggies that way.0
-
If your going to a Major chain type they usually have alternative options if you ask.
-Stay away from the free chips, sometimes I order a side of guacamole and eat salsa and guac on a fork LOL. My place has carrots/celery with ranch as an option.
-steamed veggies instead of Refried Beans and rice or if they have Ranchero beans that are no fried.
- go for a baked fish dish, salad with dressing on the side or just use the guac and salsa. Fajitas with no tortillas, soup as long as it is not cream based, Tacos without the shell is something I order a lot.
Mexican is one of the easier places to pick smarter choices. Good luck and have a good time!0 -
Any kind of taco.. just ask for lettuce to wrap them instead of torillas0
-
alcohol is good, tequila, rum??
yum.0
