eh - fajita salad with dressing on the side?
I like to get fajitas with vegetables instead of rice and beans and I'll skip the tortillas - just mix it all up, but I know that there's quite a bit of oil involved so I wouldn't say that it's healthy - just healthier than the alternative.

How about fish tacos? I had 2 shrimp tacos yesterday with avocado and chipotle mayo sauce. Each taco had 2 corn tortillas.It was wayy too many calories (and way too filling for me too), but if i used 1/2 of the chipotle sauce, cut out the avocados, & took off 1 tortilla, that would be in my limit.
i love Mexican food and have found that ordering a veggie toastada minus the sour cream and not eating the tortilla is the closest to eating healthily I can get.
At some real taquerias they have a 'heart friendly' menu...

I was just a mexican place last week and I ordered a burrito, minus the cheese, sour cream and guac. I only ate the insides and none of the tortilla. I figured it wasn't bad at all!

Chicken or veggie fajitas with corn tortillas. getting the corn tortilllas saves a ton of calories....and they are more flavorful than the flour ones!! Actually a pretty healthy meal!
