I went out to lunch yesterday at my favorite Mexican restaurant with a friend: Sancho's Taqueria. This place has the most amazing fish tacos on the planet and many many people swear by the carnitas super burrito... They really are inspirational...
This day however, I ordered the Sancho's Cobb with the dressing on the side... Good thing I did because with my diet I am not supposed to eat fat or sugar... the dressing appeared to be a honey mustard... Instead, I used their excellent hot salsa with a touch of their green mild salsa. The salad was large and I did not finish it, but I am proud of myself for sticking to the diet in the face of the fish tacos... I added pollo asada to the salad and it made the perfect meal... Estimate 3 protein and 3 good carbs.
Why salsa? Well it might just be the perfect food (Lazy Man even made salsa his food of the week.) It is usually no fat, low calorie and packed with great vegetables: tomatoes, peppers, onions, and cilantro. And it tastes great! Better yet, since it is nothing more than vegetables (no fat / low calories) you can use as much as you need in order to make the dry salad edible. (I know many of you can eat a salad without dressing or with very little... I am not one of those people.)
So, the next time you are staring face to face with that diet busting burrito order a salad and use the salsa as the dressing. You get the Mexican food without the Mexican hips.
As for Sancho's Taqueria should you wish to find it (it was named top 20 taqerias in the Bay Area) here is a map... you will need it ![]()
