Zinc in Meat

Popular American Foods Containing Meat
One thing that I enjoy about the United States is its diverse culture. We have a regular melting pot of ethnic people who have shared their cultural roots - from customs to recipes.
On that note, what is your favorite ethnic food group? While I love lasagna, spaghetti as well as vegetable eggrolls - I have to say that Tex-Mex is my favorite.
And inside this group, I am very partial to cheese enchiladas. I have one local restaurant that serves amazing cheese enchiladas - and they will substitute the refried beans with Mexican rice when requested.

So when my husband and I can afford to do such, we order the enchilada plate containing two cheese enchiladas and two servings of Mexican rice. We then split the meal.
I've checked their nutritional data and to my delight, I can enjoy this meal for about 450 calories - so what a deal!
We've posted the zinc milligrams contained in meats below - and we've posted another data table which shows the amount of calories found in popular American Ethnic foods below the meat chart. We have included seafood and fish on our meat list.
