Chipotle

 I was thinking chipotle might be a good option for us post op. Or at least a better option. I might pick off my husbands and have a tiny bit of carnitas and beans and cheese. 

What do you get at chipotle or other mexican places?

I was able to eat part (like 1/8th) of a Chipotle Burrito Bowl without a problem to the pouch.  The problem I have is, I found it very spicy.  Spicy food has not bothered my pouch, but I have a very difficult time waiting an hour to drink when I eat spicy.

Other mexican places... fajitas... meat first and some of the veggies, guacamole too.

I get a burrito bowl with carnitas with black beans, cheese, a little lettuce, tomato and sour cream.  So yummy!  The meat is tender enough that my pouch loves it and my pouch has always loved beans.  Damn, if it wasn't an hour away that is what I'd be begging DH to get for supper lol.

I LOVE going to Chipotle. I get the bowl and put anything and everything in it but the rice..no rice.  I put the beans, salsas (I don't like the hot one), guacamole, veggies etc...  Sometimes I put in a little bit of the chicken, but not the other meats.  I get the cheese in it though.  I mix it all up and I can only eat about an eighth of it and it is the best!  My teenage son will devour the rest of it but I try to keep some for another meal before he eats it all!!  

Burrito bowl at Chipotle w/ chicken, black beans, hot salsa, sour cream, cheese.  At my fav Mexican restaurant I order the shredded beef burrito w/o the gravy or tortilla.  I top the meat w/ the salsa that came w/ the chips (leave the chips for my dining companions) and a few bites of the beans if I have room.  I do not do well w/ rice so I either have them leave it off the plate, give it to my daughter or just leave it on my plate untouched.

Yep, I get a burrito bowl with just half a tiny bit of rice (but you could get it with no rice at all), whatever protein, with some black beans, cheese, salsa, and a tiny bit of sour cream.  (I usually add some greek yogurt to it (in lieu of more sour cream) when I reheat the leftovers.)

If I go to a regular Mexican place, I usually get fajitas and just eat everything with a fork rather than using a tortilla.

 Yum! Love Chipotle! I got a carnitas fajita bowl - meat, onions, peppers, bit of lettuce & cheese, mild salsa - chewed well, lasted for 5 days but tasted SOOOOO good! May be brave enough to try steak at some point....
