Friday night I came home from a ten-hour work day to a Mexican dinner. Score.
However...Mexican food is typically in conjunction with extreme overeating and a load of regret.
So I decided to be proactive and before I gazed too long at a giant white flour tortilla and regular sour cream (fortunately, I don't eat red meat), and tried to make it healthy!
I grabbed these tortillas that I knew were hiding in the fridge just waiting to be chosen instead of their nutritionally and financially cheaper counterparts.

| Not too shabby. |
I grabbed two (it was Mexican night, give me a break):
Opened a can of black beans, and distributed 2/3 of a cup of the beans onto the tortillas.
Sprinkled some feta cheese on top...
Now I know what you're thinking. It does indeed seem like a Greek dish thus far. I promise I indulged in the deliciousness of Mexican night.
Zapped it in the microwave for about a minute, and loaded some mild (I'm a wimp and unashamed) salsa and lettuce on top.
Yummy, filling, and not too much.
What are some tricks that you use to make Mexican food a little less...suicidal to your health?
