Healthy Burritos

A bar full of delicious fixings for healthy burritos is a great way to please everyone. Sure, for your full-fat eaters, you can include condiments like ground beef and regular sour cream, but there are all sorts of tasty, much healthier choices you can also set out, like:

• Chicken breasts, ground, skinless
• Beans (no salt added) of your choice, such as pinto, black, and red beans
• Nonfat cheddar cheese, shredded (Try sharp cheddar because it has a stronger taste than mild cheddar, which means you can use less and still get a lot of flavor.)
• Cilantro
• Fresh salsa (Read food labels to find lower-sodium options. A salsa with 40 mg of sodium per serving is often just as delicious as one that has 200-plus mg of sodium.)
• Fresh avocado, cubed – or guacamole (just a dollop because avocados are calorie dense)
• Sauteed green peppers and onions
• Fresh red bell pepper strips
• Nonfat sour cream
• Lettuce, shredded
• Brown rice, Spanish-style
• Corn and/or whole-wheat tortillas
