Healthy Fast Food and Takeout

Mexican Food

If You Usually Order:

Tacos, with a side of refried beans and rice.

 

Make It Healthier:

Get vegetarian refried beans (which don't contain artery-clogging lard or pork). Ask for extra guacamole (a source of healthy monounsaturated fat) instead of sour cream.

 

Better Yet:

Choose an item that's wrapped in a soft―not fried―tortilla, such as a burrito. Cram it full of vegetables, go light on the cheese, and add guacamole, which enhances the antioxidant benefits of the salsa.
