How To Make Healthy Choices When Eating Authentic Mexican Food Houston

By Amy Patterson


If you are looking to change your diet and to have more variety when it comes to meals, consider incorporating Mexican food in your diet. Even if you are on a low cholesterol diet, you can still get to enjoy these meals by taking certain steps to ensure that your diet is healthy. Here is what you can do to ensure that you enjoy authentic Mexican food Houston.

Cheese is a common feature in these meals. Most meals are served with lots of cheese. The best thing to do in such a scenario is to have the meals served with only a small quantity of cheese. You can also choose to go cheese free and use other kinds of toppings instead. For instance, use vegies as toppings instead of sour cream.

This kind of food is known for its spicy nature. That is why it is advisable that you try out a wide variety of spices when you are making this kind of meal. For instance, you can try out chili, garlic, jalapenos, cumin and other kinds of spices that you might be interested in. This is especially if you are making it at home on your own.

Another tip to help you keep your calorie intake down is for you to order al la carte, instead of ordering combo platters. If you order combo meals, chances are that you will get lots of food that might be too much for you to eat on your own. For instance, you can order Burrito and a side.

These meals tend to be fried; therefore they tend to have high calorie content. To ensure that the option that you go for does not have many calories, stay away from foods that are fried. For example, instead of going for the crunchy tortillas, go for the soft ones that have not been fried.

One healthy option that you can go for is to order for beans. Avoid the double fried one. Order it with rice, but if you are on a strict diet, then avoid the rice as well and just eat the beans alone. This will keep your calorie intake down. Pinto beans are full of flavor so they are something that you should consider ordering as well.

It is best that you avoid the dips. As tasty as they are, they are also full of calories. The best option would be for you to use guacamole and salsa instead as toppings and for garnishing the meals. Even if you opt to use guacamole, it is important that you do not eat too much of it, since the calories can add up.

Another aspect that you should consider is portion control. This will allow you to eat just about anything that you want, as long as you practice portion control and limit how much food you take, so that you do not consume to many calories. For instance, you can take deep fried meals; have cheese toppings and sour cream. This will allow you to have the full culinary experience. You also have the choice of ordering vegetarian dishes.
