My husband and I went to Chipotle on Saturday night because I was disgustingly sick and didn't feel like making food. I was fully prepared to get a chicken bol, which I love and has essentially saved my life. It is my "go-to" Tuesday meal before my evening class, and it's not a bad calorie expenditure either as it chalks up just under 500 calories. But, I was surprised to see a sign on the line that advertised their new soft corn tortillas. I asked the fellow behind the line if they were GF, he checked to make sure, and then changed gloves, washed his hands, and we got down to business.
Delicious chicken soft tacos topped with a bit of cheese, lettuce and guac. It was awesome, and I enjoyed having soft tacos "out" again. I can obviously make this any time I want at home, but being able to get this on the go is just convenient, and it makes my life easier. What's great is that Chipotle is already a super GF friendly restaurant, so this is just one more meal option for me. When I decided to go GF, I knew that my life would change, and it would seem drastic. There are still a lot of things that I really miss (and that I won't let myself buy because I'm on a budget), and one of the things that I think devastates most people is feeling like you "can't".
"I can't have that."
"Nope. Sorry. I can't eat that either."
"No problem, I'll just get a salad."
Yeah, salads are good for you, but a lot of restaurant/fast food salads can be boring, and if it's the only thing you eat when you're out, you're going to get frustrated. I have not WILLINGLY glutened myself since making the decision to do this two months ago, and a huge part of that has been having options available to me. This is just one more.
