Cass,
There is a wonderful taqueria a few doors down from my office.
We have lunch there at least twice a week. I eat chili rellenos,
and carne asade tacos (with a fork-no shells). They also have
a wonderful grilled chicken salad served on a bed of lettuce and
I have the ranch dressing on the side. At first I did miss the rice
and beans and of course the chips, but I prefer not to feel bloated,
which is always how I felt after eating mexican food.
Those carbs just aren't worth it!!! Good luck, you can do this!!!
