Re: Is There Such a Thing as a Healthy Burrito?
HI!
I'm sorry I should have been more specific-I live just outside of Boston-so when I go in-I am usually in Fanueil Hall or in the Theatre District-I don't really even go to the Pru. But I will try to venture over there one day-I just have a hard time with the traffic in that area-ugh....
Sorry-but I do not like Anna's at all. But that is a lopsided opinion because the first and only time I ate there-I got chicken on my burrito and the 2nd bite I took had a huge thing of (avert your eyes if you get grossed out easily) of chicken fat. I have a strong stomach, but I did everything I could to not throw up-and ever since then I haven't been able to go back.
As for Quodoba and Chipolte-I am a huge sour cream fan -so I usually go get it and bring it home and put my own Fat Free Sour Cream on it and make my own guac to go on it. And heck when you go to place like this you are going to splurge so just do it:^) I am a super healthy eater, but I do get enjoyment out of chocolate, frozen yogurt, baking (heatlhy) and good Mexican:^)--anyone eat at Border Cafe in Harvard Square? Yummy!
As for making healthy burritos-very easy to do-I made one the other night-I boiled chicken for an hour and then used a fork to shred it. You can have it like this or I put it back in the pan and put some dried red pepper and other seasonings with a bit of water. And then I steamed some veggies (broccoli, squash, and zuccini-still crunchy) and then I put black beans, green pepper, corn, homemade guac and FF sour cream on whole wheat wrap-SO yummy and filling. My guy and roommates loved it and then I had leftovers for last night and maybe even tonight!
Just an idea! Thanks for the posting of Quodoba's!
