Another restaurant makes the grade :)

It has been sometime since my wife and I
had indulged in mexican food at a
restaurant. Knowing that most taco shells
are prepared with corn oil or cottonseed oil
(very high in omega 6's) and many times
made in partially hydrogenated oils, has
kept us from venturing into mexican
restaurants.

We generally make tacos at home where
we can control the ingredients. Oragnic
taco shells made with pure corn meal
processed with only canola oil and made with
ground chicken, turkey or bison meat seasoned
ourselves to be healthy.

Or fajitas made much the same way with
100% whole grain tartillias and healthy
sauteed onions and bell peppers cooked in
pure macadamia nut oil (high in monounsaturates).

But, a few nights ago my wife just wanted
to eat out and chose a place we had
visited quite often before we started
the diet called Tijuana Flats.

It's a local dive that has now grown to
about 30 or more locations througout
the Greater Orlando area. And, of course, all
mexican food.

I knew I was looking at a tough time staying
to the diet until we got a glimps of their new
menu. They were now offering 100% whole wheat
tortillias and boasting nothing in the place was
prepared or cooked in partially hydrogenated oils.

That brought a smile to our faces :)

I was able to order two tacos, made in a whole
wheat tortillia, with refried beans and diced
grilled chicken topped with only lettuce and
tomato. They also offer a line of hot sauces
(their trademark) and we always have fun tasting
the new offerings and enjoying the ones we have
chosen as our favorites.

That makes another restaurant that we can
now visit and not have to worry about breaking
the diet!
