Weight Watchers Taco Bell’s Mexican PizzaWeight Watchers
Ingredients:
- 2 large tortillas (use low-carb or whole wheat for fewer points)
- 1/2 cup fat-free refried beans
- 1/2 cup lean ground turkey or chicken (93% lean or higher)
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp diced onions
- 2 tbsp sliced black olives (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Cooking spray
- Taco seasoning (to taste)
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, fat-free sour cream, diced jalapeños
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the Meat: In a non-stick skillet, cook the ground turkey or chicken over medium heat until fully cooked. Add taco seasoning to taste. Remove from heat.
- Prepare Tortillas: Lightly spray both sides of the tortillas with cooking spray. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes or until they start to get crispy.
- Layer the Pizza: Spread half of the refried beans on one tortilla. Top with the cooked meat mixture. Place the second tortilla on top.
- Top the Pizza: Spread the salsa over the top tortilla. Sprinkle the reduced-fat cheese blend evenly over the salsa. Add diced tomatoes, onions, and black olives if using.
- Bake: Place the assembled pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Slice into quarters and serve with optional toppings like shredded lettuce, fat-free sour cream, and diced jalapeños.
WW Points:
The exact WW points will depend on the specific brands and types of ingredients used. Generally, using low-carb tortillas, lean ground turkey, and fat-free refried beans should keep the points low. Be sure to calculate based on your specific ingredients.
