thinking about Mexican for lunch

I have not eaten Mexican since pre op (10 months ago) and am wondering what is good to order? I used to really like their prawn dishes, but know I probably cannot eat the white sauce. Going to pass on rice and beans. Looking for flavorful suggestions that are healthy and sleeve friendly.

  • When I went for Mexican, I ordered shrimp fajitas with charro beans and gave the rice to my husband.

    Haha, I know right, I deserve a discount! I just throw the meat on top of the lettuce, top it w the guac and nibble away. I just love the flavor in fajita meat. Maybe it's the Mexican in me? An oz

Depends on where your going...

But we have a place that makes a spicy seafood soup ". Octopus, scallops shrimp, crab yummy!

But how about a steak or chicken burrito without the rice and just eat the inside :)

Fajitas (request to be cooked without oil) and an oz of guacamole would be my choice :-) Should last a few meals! Skip rice, tortillas, sour cream, cheese, and beans.

Or chicken tortilla soup without the tortillas... but some people add a bunch of random stuff like peas that make it hard for me to calorie count.

chicken fajitas with guacamole and corn tortillas. I was able to eat about 1/4 of the dish they served me. I packed the rest away and my boyfriend and I ate off of it for dinner later. Then I had one more serving for the next day at work.

Camerones or pescado a la plancha (grilled shrimp or fish) or tortilla soup.

Oh or Mexican Shrimp Cocktail. They usually put some pico de gallo and avocado in it.

I am going to a chain restaraunt place like Azteca. For sure, I will have to slap my hand as it reaches for the tortilla chips. Good idea on eating the inside of a buritto.

Yeah, great idea! However, what is a fajita without the wrap?

Also, you could order the taco salad without the chip bowl, cheese and sour cream. Or if you have to have just a little, order them on the side.

I am totally a Las Camerones ala crema type person. Loved it pre op. My goto Mexican dish. However, I think the ala crema would kill me now metaphorically. Now that I think about it, maybe even physically!! Deep six by the ala crema!!

That sounds like a good alternative and maybe order salsa as the dressing.

Coctel de Cameron. All healthy stuff. & tastes great too.
