Cinco de Mayo

     Avoid the restaurant fried chips. They contain 25 calories per chip.

Order baked chips, which are 10 calories a piece or corn tortillas to dip in your salsa.

Healthy Entrees:

•         Tacos al carbon but, watch out for the high calorie accompaniments – refried beans, rice, guacamole, sour cream and cheese.

If you choose corn tortillas over flour you will save 50 calories each.

•         Arroz con pollo.

•         Chicken fajita salad and use salsa for your dressing!

             Limit or hold the sour cream and guacamole.

Limit high calorie entrees – chalupas, chimichangas,  beef or cheese enchiladas,  flautas, tacos, tamales.

The bottom line is to choose the food you really enjoy and skip the things that are not so special: you don’t need chips, rice, beans AND tortillas.
