What's the healthiest Mexican food dish?
One of the healthiest Mexican food dishes you can consider is a grilled chicken or fish salad. This type of salad typically includes a base of fresh greens like lettuce, spinach, or mixed greens, topped with grilled chicken or fish for lean protein. You can also add a variety of colorful vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and avocado for added nutrients and flavor.
Here are a few other relatively healthy options:
- Chicken Fajitas: Grilled chicken, bell peppers, and onions served with whole wheat tortillas. Opt for whole wheat tortillas for added fiber.
- Vegetable Tacos: Fill soft or hard-shell tacos with a variety of grilled or sautéed vegetables, such as zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions. Top with salsa and a small amount of light cheese or avocado.
- Ceviche: A dish made from marinated raw fish or seafood, typically cooked by the acidity of lime or lemon juice. It's low in calories and high in protein and healthy fats.
- Black Bean Burrito Bowl: Choose brown rice or quinoa as a base, then add black beans, grilled vegetables, salsa, a small amount of cheese, and guacamole.
- Salsa and Guacamole with Veggie Sticks: A simple and healthy option for snacking. Salsa and guacamole are packed with nutrients and healthy fats. Pair them with carrot sticks, celery, or bell pepper strips for dipping.
- Opt for grilled or baked options instead of fried.
- Choose whole wheat or corn tortillas over white flour tortillas for added fiber.
- Load up on vegetables for extra nutrients and fiber.
- Use salsa or pico de gallo for flavor instead of heavy sauces.
- Limit the amount of cheese and sour cream you use.
- Control your portions to avoid overeating.
