Unhappily however, it's hard to eat out in Mexican restaurants because so many food choices include tortillas, which as I am sure you know are NOT an option on a low carb diet.
That's why many times when I just want a burrito and some fresh guacamole one of my first eat out choices is a Burrito Bowl at Chipotle.
The picture above is the burrito bowl I had for lunch at Chipotle today. The lettuce on top covers many of the other ingredients, but this is essentially a burrito without the tortilla, in a bowl.
The first thing they ask you when you order one of these is whether you want white or brown rice. I skip the rice and have them do pinto beans and extra sauteed veggies (onion and green pepper).
You really are missing out if you forgo the veggies, they make this a fabulous meal!
Then you choose your meat, salsa, and you can add corn (which of course I skip - too high in carbs), cheese, sour cream, and for a little higher price guacamole, and lettuce.
Not only is this one delicious low carb meal but Chipotle touts their "responsibly raised meat", "non-gmo" and local vegetables.
What about you, where do you eat out on a carb conscious diet?
