One of our favorite fast food places is Baja Fresh. As fast food goes, it's certainly better than most. And, frankly, we have been eating out less than we used to, and I rarely eat fast food. I can't even remember going to a McD's or like place since being here in L.A.
I usually get a burrito. I do not usually get the beans, but I add sour cream. I had learned how bad tortillas are, in general, so I stopped eating all of the tortillas, and depending on my hunger level, I stopped eating very many tortilla chips that accompany the dish.
For the first time I went on their website to look at the nutritional info....a beef & bean burrito with steak is 1000 calories. And the chips are 250 more.
Holy crap. I was eating this in one sitting on a weekend. Ack!
So today I got 2 steak tacos...cheaper and basically the same thing as I got (since I took the beans off anyway) but it also has lettuce and tomatoes for a little more nutritional value. Less than 1/2 the calories.
Richard is out of town for 3 nights for business. I am going to dinner at a friend's on Monday (salmon and Lintels) and I have plans to cook basil chicken chili for lunches for the week and I bought some beans to work in meatless meals. Very excited!
