This is because those foods are considered the most nutritious and will help you meet your weight loss goals. With time, selecting a healthy option will become easy.
Answers
· Appetizers - Pineapple Mango Salsa, Tortilla Soup, or Guacamole
· Entrees - Fajitas De Camaron or Chipotle Chicken
· Burritos/Taco - Veggie or Pollo Taco – a taco bowl is a better option, served without the corn tortilla
· Salads - All of the salads are good options except the Tex-Mex Fajita Salad – remember to ask for the dressing on the side
If you selected any of these food items, you are spot on. These are the healthiest food options on the menu, you can enjoy these without feeling guilty, but remember to ask for your meal to be served without sour cream, choose the guacamole for that creamy texture instead.
