Mexican food has an unhealthy reputation. From overstuffed burritos to tacos loaded with sour cream, many typical Mexican recipes are laden with calories, fat, and sodium. Takeout Mexican food can be particularly unhealthy. For example, one burrito at a popular restaurant chain contains 700 calories, 65% of your daily saturated fat value, and a whopping 94% of your daily sodium value. Triple yikes! Cut back on Mexican takeout. Your body will thank you.
