How to consume Mexican food without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of high-carb ingredients like rice and tortillas. Opt for smaller servings to help manage blood sugar levels.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add more fiber-rich vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini to your meals. Fiber slows down the absorption of sugars.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, substitute white rice with quinoa or brown rice, as they are less likely to cause spikes.
Incorporate Lean Proteins
Add grilled chicken, fish, or beans to your dishes. Proteins help in slowing down digestion and reduce the spike.
Opt for Healthy Fats
Include avocados or a small amount of nuts in your meal. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Modify Tortillas
Use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas, or better yet, try lettuce wraps as an alternative.
Drink Water
Stay hydrated with water during your meal instead of sugary drinks, which can exacerbate spikes.
Monitor Sugar Additions
Be cautious with added sugars in salsas or sauces. Opt for homemade versions where you can control the ingredients.
Balanced Meals
Ensure your meal includes a balance of carbs, proteins, and fats to prevent quick spikes in glucose.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and savor your food. This helps your body process the food more effectively and can prevent rapid spikes.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
