I've said it before and I'll say it again: Mexican food is by far one of the most difficult types of food to practice self-control with. Between the crispy corn chips, creamy queso (if you're familiar with Tex-Mex, you know this isn't simply melted cheese), and loaded tacos, there's no questioning why this is. Pair these mouth-watering dishes with a Cinco De Mayo celebration of good music, drinks, and friends, and the struggle gets real.
There are certainly ways to control yourself around such an array, and there are plenty of healthy, home-cooked recipes to contribute to it! Believe me, it's far easier to eat less of the not-so-healthy stuff when you're plate is largely filled with the healthier goods— the key is to stay away from the refreshments table once you've gotten your fill.
