Burrito with Chicken and Beans (1 Medium Burrito)

Choose a smaller burrito or eat half now and save the rest for later to reduce the carbohydrate load at one time.

Ask for no rice or a half portion of brown rice, and add extra non-starchy vegetables such as lettuce, peppers, onions, salsa, or fajita vegetables.

Keep the chicken and beans, but request extra chicken and a modest bean portion so more of the meal comes from protein and fiber.

Use a smaller whole-grain or high-fiber tortilla, or turn the burrito into a burrito bowl with lettuce instead of a tortilla.

Add avocado or guacamole and avoid sweet sauces; choose salsa, pico de gallo, or hot sauce instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating and avoid sugary drinks; choose water or unsweetened tea.
