The Chilli's (nearest thing to Mexican we have) near here does low-fat grilled chicken which would be perfect. Otherwise, get a chicken fajita (checking with them that it's dairy free) and eat lots or tortillas and salsa. Remember that guacamole has cream in it! I didn't realise that for AGES!

Bean or chicken burritos are normally safe if you can tollerate the beans... spanish rice if you cna tolerate the tomatos often used in it.. lots of choices, one of my favorite places to eat is mexican still.. -------------------- Dietetics Student (anticipating RD exam in Aug 2010) IBS - A Dairy Allergic Fructose and MSG intollerant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     True...       #142881 - 01/26/05 09:02 AM Edit Reply Quote Linz Reged: 09/01/03 Posts: 8242 Loc: England ...I make Heather's "cheat" guacamole at home with avocadoes and green tabasco!

I also make a lot of mexican at home too.. I grew up on mexican foods, mom is puerto-rican and made a lot of that genre of foods growing up.. -------------------- Dietetics Student (anticipating RD exam in Aug 2010) IBS - A Dairy Allergic Fructose and MSG intollerant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: What is the "safest" food at a Mexican restaurant?       #142971 - 01/26/05 12:08 PM Edit Reply Quote Shell Marr Reged: 08/04/03 Posts: 14959 Loc: Seattle, WA USA I PERSONALLY do fine with white chicken or shrimp fajitas, eat with flour tortillas you can even add a little shredded lettuce and salsa to it... stay away from the "chips" and salsa as those babies are fried. Instead of refried beans and Mexican rice ask for black beans and white rice or "dirty rice" = already mixed together. Take some Beano before you eat... But above all else.... Don't over eat!! Good luck…let us know how you do. -------------------- www.facebook.com/shell.marr www.myspace.com/shellmarr Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Here's what I have...       #142973 - 01/26/05 12:18 PM Edit Reply Quote Sara-Sage Reged: 02/04/04 Posts: 5508 If you are able to have beans, have some black beans, no cheese or sour cream with spanish rice. That's what I have. Or a vegetarian fajita! YUM!!!!!!!

There are a few places that will tell you if their tortillas are made with lard or not. Most places these days, do not have lard tortillas because they don't actually use homemade tortillas, they are usually store bought. So ask. Also, I usually get grilled chicken fajitas, and ask for them to try to use not much oil. And when they bring me the chicken , if it still looks greasy I dab it with a napkin before I eat it. I would also be wary of beans, even black beans, just in case they added fat or lard. Again ask them. But non-lard tortillas and grilled chicken fajitas is usually okay. No condiments. Easy on the lettuce if you can handle it, and obviously no cheese. But it really really depends on the restaurant, I know some Mexican food restauarants that are okay, and workable, and others that you could not pay me to eat anything at.
