Comidas (food):opt for
- black beans instead of refried
- whole-wheat or corn tortillas (soft shell) instead of plain white or hard shell tortillas
- salsa - it's jam packed with antioxidants!
- blend sour cream w/non-fat yogurt
- instead of loading up on shredded cheese, sprinkle it on
- marinated veggies and/or grilled chicken or fish instead of red meat
- avoid the taco salad - the shell alone is worth nearly a day's calorie count
Bevidas (drinks):
- Cinco de Mayo is not complete without Margaritas. However, each one can contain between 250-500 calories...definitely, not a reason to fiesta. However, Hungry Girl's recipe for making Magical Low-Cal Margaritas makes you say Ole! with less than half the calories.
- And, if you're a beer drinker, you can save 43 calories by opting for a Corona Light instead of the Corona Extra.
Eat, drink, be merry and get some physical activity by shaking your booty and doing a round of the Macarena just to celebrate!

Well, Olè to you!! I have the Hungry Girl cookbook but didn't find the margarita recipe. Thanks. We're going to enjoy one tonight with our Chicken Enchiladas!! Thanks again, and fortunately I have all of the ingredients on hand. :)
