If you're a Mexican Food Fanatic but are currently
watching your diet, do the Mexican Hat Dance
towards those tasty fajitas! Here
are our favorite diet fixins and a few fajita
tips:
- Steam flour tortilla
shells to save fat and calories.
-
Search for the lowest calorie flour tortillas
you can find. You'll never miss the
extra dough which will be replaced by healthy,
low calorie, low fat veggies.
- Sauté the following vegetables for an excellent
fajita mix: jicama, cilantro, red
peppers, dried roasted tomatoes, cherry
tomatoes, mushrooms, shredded carrots, shredded
squash, onions, garlic.
- Use lean cuts of chicken, beef and pork.
- Opt for salsa rather than sour cream - and
when using sour cream, opt for light, just
a step down from regular, and a step up
from fat free.
- Opt for shredded low fat, skim mozzarella
cheese.
