Also choose items that aren't fried. Your best choices include fajitas, burritos or soft tacos. Fajitas are an especially good choice because you put them together yourself. Instead of guacamole and sour cream, pile on more fat-free vegetables and salsa. Avoid refried beans, opting for lower-fat black beans.
Mexican rice can sometimes contain a high amount of sodium.
If you can, request plain rice. Instead of fried tortilla chips and salsa before your meal, request plain tortillas to dip into your salsa. To limit sodium, avoid olives, anchovies and feta cheese. Items that are pan-roasted are also a good choice. The meat is browned quickly over very high heat, sealing in the juices and reducing the need for fat or sauces.
