Piggybacking on Ruth’s line of posts, I’ll cover another option today where you can easily grab a Paleo-friendly meal — Chipotle Mexican Grill!

The easy winner there is the salad. So you’re probably wondering what to avoid to keep on the path of the caveman, right? Here’s how to order like a champ and still keep on track.

  1. Order the salad, no dressing
  2. No beans or rice (c’mon, you know better by now right??)
  3. Ask them for the fajita veggies
  4. Take your pick of meats. If you’re feeling froggy, go for double meat! The carnitas and barbacoa are favorites of mine
  5. Go for broke on salsas — as long as it’s not the corn one!
  6. No sour cream or cheese (dairy, tsk tsk)
  7. Lastly, ask for the guacamole and some more lettuce thrown on top and you are good to go!

Now obviously you gotta avoid the chips and tortillas and I’m sure there are a few of you shedding some tears over that. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy fresh chips and salsa as much as anyone, but they have no place in your regular diet. I’m sure you’re already seeing and/or feeling the results of the Paleo lifestyle, so suck it up and reap the benefits of sticking to your guns.

I have tried this before and it was good. I do miss the rice but extra guac is awesome

Easy on the hot salsa though..I’ve taken many an accidental bite of hot sauce and shed some tears over it!

Guac is soooooo good.

Dude Marcus – was this your lunch? Whatever is on the bottom right area in your photo there, looks like chicken feet (…if you’ve ever had dim sum) .

Where was I?
Oh yeah… mmm… guac.

Mmmm…chicken feet

I went to the Chipotle in Hacienda Heights and it was on the menu, so how could I resist?

Okay I kid, it’s actually carnitas. Still tasty though!
