Mexican salad can be a high-protein vegetarian meal if it is made with protein-rich ingredients such as beans, quinoa, tofu, or tempeh. However, if the salad is made only with vegetables and grains like rice, it may not be as high in protein.

Some high-protein ingredients that can be included in a Mexican salad are:

• Black beans: 1/2 cup of cooked black beans contains about 8 grams of protein.
• Quinoa: 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa contains about 4 grams of protein.
• Tofu: 1/2 cup of firm tofu contains about 10 grams of protein.
• Tempeh: 1/2 cup of tempeh contains about 15 grams of protein.

By adding a combination of these ingredients to a Mexican salad, you can make it a high-protein vegetarian meal. Additionally, you can also include other sources of protein such as cheese or nuts.

Coughing and producing phlegm after eating a meal could be a sign of a few different conditions, such as acid reflux, allergies, or an infection. Acid reflux caused me to cough and phlegm after eating, but it is individual.
