During a recent family weekend we had a big get together with extended family for lunch. We ended up at El Torito Mexican restaurant. Most of the things on the menu would be off limits, so I tried to just keep my eyes focus on the salad portion of the menu. I decided to go with the Grilled Chicken Taco Salad. Made up of Crisp Roman, grilled chicken, fresh pico de gallo, cotijo cheese, avocado, tortilla strips, and roasted pepita's with your choice of dressing. I went with a cilantro dressing that seemed close to a mexican ranch. I figured that is was a bit lower in carb count. You may also want to say no tortilla strips if you are doing induction so you can keep the carbs very low. I kept some, but pulled some off when they brought it to me. It was very yummy and fresh. Its not cheap, but it was a safe choice at a mexican restaurant like this.
