Deming has a lot of Mexican restaurants, one of the reasons I like being here. But this time I’m checking out the “heart-healthy” options available at them.
Depending on where you are this can be easy or difficult. Deming has what I call “American” style Mexican food, heavy on cheese and refried beans. That’s different than Santa Fe style, or Tex-Mex.
Finding dishes lower in fats and dairy is a tad tough here, but can be done (there’s always tacos). What’s a real pisser is when you order an otherwise good dish and discover it’s loaded with sodium, usually on the meat which is completely over seasoned.
I’m keeping my chile cheeseburgers to one a week while I’m in NM, which I regard as “heart healthy”.
Weather here has been much wetter than normal, and I have yet to see a dust storm, which is very unusual….
