When you’re in the mood for a fresh, fast Mexican meal, Qdoba is a great option. Ordering with care can help you enjoy a tasty meal without overloading on calories and fat.

Your best bet for holding the line on calories is to order any burrito or salad “naked”—that is, without a tortilla wrap or deep-fried tortilla bowl. Doing so can shave hundreds of calories off your meal.

Likewise, asking that queso (melted cheese sauce), sour cream, or guacamole be omitted from any menu items can keep your fat and calorie counts from exploding exponentially.

Lower-calorie choices include vegetarian burritos, tacos, salads, Tortilla Soup, and Mexican Gumbo.

Higher-calorie and higher-fat menu items include the Queso Burrito, Ground Sirloin Burrito, Steak Burrito, 3-Cheese Nachos, Cheese Quesadilla, and Steak Quesadilla.

Burrito portions are huge, making them a good item to split with a friend. Add a naked salad to share and you’ve got a healthy Mexican meal.
