Two years ago, I would have been the first person down to hit up a late night taco place, but it's just not worth the repercussions anymore. By living a healthier lifestyle, I have actually grown to appreciate when I do have the opportunity to splurge. I find it funny that when I post pictures of unhealthy food now on Instagram people freak out and think I have fallen off the wagon. It's actually the contrary! I give myself treats so that I can continue being honest with myself.
Becoming healthy is being willing to listen to your body and never denying it a treat if you worked for it. I stand by this and know that giving myself a little something out of my usual diet isn't going to send me into a huge food binge. I trust myself.
Now onto the real story. I have been craving a great carne asada torta, a Mexican steak sandwich, and these are hard to find! Now my husband can make a delicious one, but I didn't want him cooking after a two hour commute.
The only option at that point was eating out! The only place that I trust my order with is El Rincon in La Puente, California. My sandwich was complete with a slice of white Monterey Jack cheese, avocado, mayo, refried beans, carne asada, lettuce and pickled jalapeños and carrots. It was divine to say the least. The chubberita inside of me wished that the sandwich was bigger, but I fought off the desire to buy a second.
Being Latina is less complicated when you are making strides to live a healthier lifestyle rather than dieting!
