Im heading off to a Mexican restaurant for lunch and called to learn theyve only one healthy fare and only because of a low carb tortilla.

Im at a loss for the calories but I would suggest going with the one you prefer taste wise.  They both sound like a toss up but Im assuming the burrito comes in heaviest (depending on the amount of cheese with the soup).
Most Mexican restaurants' refried beans are made with lard--you should ask for black beans instead.  Also, Mexican rice is sometimes made with beef broth.  Most onion soups come from a beef broth base also--you may want to call ahead!  I like to get vegetable fajitas with black beans on the side.  It may not be on the menu, but they can still make it.
Where's the broccoli ? >:]
