Question

I am meeting up with some old friends on Saturday and they picked a Mexican restaurant. Any recommendations where I don’t have to dip much into my weeklies? I’m on the  plan

Answer 1

Fajitas without a tortilla wrap.  

Answer 2

I always get grilled shrimp, lettuce salad and pico- only points are in avacado if you chose to eat it.  

Comments

@omnirange10, that what I do too!  

Answer 3

Tortilla soup

Answer 4

Taco salad

Answer 5

Chicken fajitas grilled in water not oil

Answer 6

I ask them to make me a big salad with just vegetables and put fajita chicken meat on top (if it's no already on the menu). I eat Ranch on the side by dipping my fork into it and then picking up the food--I eat less that way than pouring it on. I can use salsa for flavor, too, on the salad. If I eat this way it's few points and I can indulge in some chips. Hope you enjoy whatever it is youdiecide to have!  

Answer 7

Key for me is to eat before I go so I don’t arrive to the restaurant hungry. Have something small at the restaurant, perhaps even just an appetizer size. It’s about connecting with old friends, its not about food. That’s my take anyway.  

Answer 8

Chicken fajitas

Answer 9

My go to when I eat Mexican food is a chicken fajita salad. I order it with no cheese and if it comes with sc and guacamole I order it on the side and decide whether I want to eat it or not. I also count out 9 tortilla chips(which have 4 points). That way I can enjoy chips and salsa with my meal!  

Answer 10

I would eat before

Answer 11

I see if the restaurant has a menu on line. And plan ahead I and I always order first so I don’t change my mine

Answer 12

Answer 13

Shrimp or chicken or veggies.  

Answer 14

Fajitas no tortillas.  

Answer 15

Our local has grilled fish topped with crab and a very low cal chicken dish both served with steamed veggies. I skip the rice or only eat a small portion. Otherwise you could only eat half of what you order and take the rest home for a meal the next day. I do that all the time! Focus on friends and conversation and enjoy!

Answer 32

Don't dip at all. Bring your own tortillas. I also bring carrot chips to dip in the salsa so I stay away from the tortilla chips. Have chicken or shrimp fajitas, tell them really light on the oil. I usually count one teaspoon of oil. and 2pts for the tortilla I bring.  

Answer 33

I used this last weekend

Answer 34

Chicken fajitas without the tortilla!  

Answer 35

I don't know how restrictive green is. But, black beans, chips and salsa (can do like 13/14 chips for 3 or 4 points), enchiladas are not too terrible on your points, smaller taquito tortillas are like 1 point a piece, salads are pretty safe, as long as it is grilled chicken or fish/shimp, etc. Enjoy.  

Answer 36

Shrimp. cocktail or chicken tortilla soup.
