These 21 Day Fix Mexican Food Recipes are all fix-friendly (container counts included!). And if you’re really looking for tacos, check out my 21 Day Fix Taco Roundup here.
When I first started the 21 Day Fix (now called Portion Fix), I didn’t want to go out to eat. I was intimidated by all the choices and my tendency to use a restaurant as an excuse to have a “cheat meal.” So when we ended up going out for Mexican food just a few days into the Fix, it threw me into a tizzy. My favorite part of Mexican food is tortillas and corn chips…not exactly “diet-foods.”
But of course, the 21 Day Fix isn’t a traditional “diet” – and with a few modifications, I was able to enjoy some of those chips (12, to be exact, but…who’s counting, right?).
That was awhile ago – but today I’m using that experience to offer you a better option than making the healthiest choice at your favorite Mexican food restaurant. How about, instead, making your own?
