Some street chicken, commonly found in just about any Mexican community. This is Mexico’s version of “The Colonel”-- only much healthier. At the “rostizerias” (rotisseries), the chicken is slowly roasted to perfection without anything bad added. Aside from the lack of unhealthy additives, Mexican chicken is also healthier to begin with, due in large part to the way the chickens are raised. Since they are free-ranged chickens, Mexican chickens eat much healthier and more natural diet than those we’re used to consuming in the United States. These healthier conditions give  Mexican chicken a much better taste and a more appealing color.

Another meal at Tierra Adentro in San Cristobal, which I mentioned in my last post. This is more or less a Huevos Rancheros plate, consisting of a tortilla (in this case, another awesome blue one) heated in a comal until it is hard like a tostada, then a thin slice of ham, topped with sunny-side up eggs and sauce. Here, is it accompanied by platanos fritos (plantains are a vegetable similar to bananas, but less sweet) and avocado slices. Plantains are another starch that doesn’t significantly affect my blood sugar levels, though I generally tend to eat them in small portions. If you happen to be in Chiapas, don't miss this restaurant!

Fresh tortillas at the autonomous village, Zinacantan, Chiapas.

An awesome breakfast... blue tortillas, green chorizo, and eggs! I really like the blue tortillas—can you tell?! Again, these are another traditional food that is starchy and has very little effect on my blood sugar. And they taste awesome!

More street tacos!  (these ones have the pineapple!).   Street tacos in Mexico might be my favorite food in the world.  

On the left is “Caldo Tlalpeño,” a chicken soup with white rice. This tends to be a bit spicy because it has chile chipotle. On the right are “Chilaquiles”, which are basically a mixture of sliced tortillas, salsa, egg, and chicken.
