Smart Menu at OTB!

Of course every Texas girl loves good tex-mex, margaritas and chips and salsa... And I must say, I am LOVING the new On The Border "Border Smart" menu, featuring great choices at 590 calories or less- leaving you extra calories for chips and a skinny margarita!

I think the best bet is to create your own combo! 

First, pick two main dishes:

- Ground Beef Tostada: 180 calories

- Chicken Tinga Tostada: 140 calories

- Guacamole Tostada: 200 calories

-  Chicken Tomatillo Enchilada: 140 calories

- Spinach & Mushroom Tomatillo Enchilada: 120 calories

- Grilled Chicken Fajita Taco: 150 calories 

Second, choose a side:

- Black beans: 170 calories

- Cilantro lime rice: 190 calories

- Grilled vegetables: 50 calories 

*I had one spinach enchilada and one with chicken plus grilled veggies. Only 310 calories! It was a bit spicy, but filling and really tasty. BONUS: One basket of chips with salsa is 440 calories, so have a few before your meal with a Skinny Margarita, and you're only taking in roughly 600 calories for a yummy Mexican dinner! You really can't beat that! Impressive OTB! I love how you can mix-and-match these combos and try something different every time! You really can't go wrong with the great choices. 

Other choices on the "Border Choice" menu include:

- Grilled Chicken Fajita Tacos: 

two grilled chicken tacos, pico de gallo, lime-cilantro chimichurri, soft corn tortillas — served with choice of black beans (480 calorie meal), cilantro lime rice (500 calorie meal) or grilled vegetables (360 calorie meal).

- Mango Chicken Salad: (400 calories) romaine, grilled chicken, corn, black beans, mango, jícama, pico de gallo, queso fresco and fat-free mango citrus vinaigrette. Honestly, not my favorite dish, but worth a try! 

- Grilled Chicken Fajitas: (550 calories) grilled chicken, sautéed onions, red & green bell peppers — served with black beans, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, white corn tortillas

- Mexican Grilled Chicken: (450 calories) chicken breast, pico de gallo and choice of sauce — cilantro lime rice, grilled vegetables
