However, it may be easier for me because I live in Houston (I have noticed that food is cheaper here than other places I have been). I also go to the grocery store each week (my favorite part of the week) and spend between 40 and 50 dollars! (you can too!! …i know, that was cheesy!) That’s a good tip to keep while dining out at any Mexican/tex-mex place because refried beans can most always be easily substituted by regular, healthy black beans.Īt least they kept to a respectable serving size with the chips unlike most places that pile a whole mountain of them on your plate! I think there were like 15 chips here and I left about 5 on my plate.Īfter the gym this morning I snacked on organic applesauce (1/2 cup) and cinnamon before lunch! □ I ate them just because they were there □ But….they were tasty! I also opted for black beans instead of refried because refried beans are (traditionally) fried in lard, which wouldn’t be very vegetarian OR a good healthy option for anyone! I don’t think this restaurant uses lard, but it still brings more extra fat than just ordered black beans plain. Now they just need to offer fruit instead of taco chips and I would be totally sold! But then the overall Mexican theme would sort of get lost…and Americans do love their chips. So, major kudos to Tijuana Flats for revamping their menu to appeal to a healthier mindset and lifestyle! I hadn’t been there since the beginning of last summer and was happily surprised that besides ordering a “power-lite” burrito (low fat cheese), one could also opt for a whole wheat burrito at no extra charge! I hope others take advantage of this as well! I ordered a veggie power-lite burrito (no sour cream) in a whole wheat tortilla and it was fabulous.
