check when you are out at a restaurant. But it

Pro-Tip
If you are headed to a Mexican restaurant in
Hong Kong, one of the top low-calorie choices is
tacos made with corn tortillas, grilled meat, and
salsa. You can skip the rice and ask for
vegetables on the side.

Go With Corn Not Flour
Tortillas form the basis of a number of Mexican
culinary favorites such as tacos, burritos and
fajitas. The calories in a tortilla depend on
the size and the brand, but you can definitely
see the difference in the calories. Corn
tortilla will have less calories as compared to
the flour tortillas. For instance, a 28-gram corn
tortilla will contain approximately 60 calories
as per research. The similar size flour tortilla
will have around 100 calories. To enjoy a
low-calorie entree at a Mexican restaurant, you
can specifically ask the chef to get you a taco
or fajita made with corn tortillas.

Get it Grilled
Grilled proteins are typically some of the
lowest- calorie foods you will get at a Mexican
restaurant as long as they are paired with the
side smart dishes. Choose grilled seafood,
chicken, or steak with a side of black beans,
grilled or sauteed vegetables. Again, you can
skip the rice because these contain about 150 to
200-plus calories per serving. So, it is
suggested to go with the grill

Pick a Bowl
For burritos, tortillas wrapping up with all the
insides provide calories in bulk. A low-calorie
option should be considered when it comes to the
filling. You must choose it wisely about what
will go into the bowl. For instance, if you load
the bowl up with the rice, carnitas, sour cream,
cheese, guacamole, black beans etc. All these
ingredients in a bowl will give you a quick
break from the calorie bank. Put a base of
lettuce and then add a half portion of brown rice
into it. Then you can choose chicken, fish or
even steak as the protein. You can even stick to
the beans and later load a lot of veggies and
salsa on it.

Red Signal for Mexican Sauce
Almost every Mexican dish comes up with a sauce
or a dip such as salsa, guacamole and sour
cream. Just consider these sauces as a
stoplight Green signal for salsa, yellow for
guacamole and red for sour cream. Since you are
looking for the lowest calory option, salsa
would be the best as it typically contains just 5
calories per tablespoon. Guacamole is not as low
in calories compared to salsa. Each tablespoon
contains about 25 calories but it does contain
heart-healthy fats too. Sour cream contains about
30 calories per tablespoon but it does not share
the same heart-healthy fats as guacamole does.
