Las iguanas - Mexican

[laura35]

Hi,

I am new to the forum and new to slimming world (extra easy plan). I am going to Las Iguanas Mexican restaurant next week to a family meal. I would hate to fall off the wagon on my first week so could anybody please recommend the lowest syn option to have? I will be saving some syns up from the week but don't want to go too mad.

Any help much appreciated. Thanks x

Just taking details from the bk of the book which is for general Mexican.

For EE best options are:

Chilli con carne 8.5 syns
Boiled rice - free
Vegetable chilli 3.5 syns
Veg enchiladas 14 syns each
Beef enchiladas 17 syns each
Chicken enchiladas 22 syns each
Sour cream is 10 for a side portion
Tortilla chips and salsa is 18 per serving!!!

Hope that helps a bit. I know what I'd choose!!!

Oh it also says tequila sunrise 9syns, margarita 6.5 syns I'd har chilli, rice and drinks hehe

Last time I went I had a risotto that was lovely - lots of delicious veg in it - only syns would be whatever oil it was cooked in!

Just checked - it wasn't risotto - it was paella:

PUERTO RICAN PAELLA
Traditional dish of rice in a sofrito of tomato, garlic, saffron, onion, peas, peppers & cayenne with butternut squash, asparagus, sugar snap peas, palm hearts & mushrooms.

It was delicious!
