Weight Watchers Taco Casserole Recipe

This Weight Watchers Taco Casserole Recipe is a variation of my favorite Weight Watchers friendly Taco Casserole (made with chicken).

Table of Contents

I like making casseroles all the time, but especially for family dinners, holidays and even events like the Super Bowl. They are just easy and always taste great and this one, at just one WW point, is a GREAT one.

If you love taco dishes, try my Weight Watchers Friendly Taco Dip and Zero Point Chicken Taco Soup, too!

With Weight Watchers, you can eat anything in moderation. I’m constantly swapping ingredients to make things more flavorful with less points. For example, I swap out plain, non fat Greek yogurt for sour cream or ground beef for ground turkey, things like that.

I like to keep things interesting! And, as I find new WW friendly ingredients in the stores, or hear about something in my WW group, I like to add them into my existing recipes to grind down the points – whenever possible. If you are on Weight Watcher’s, you already know what I mean. :)

To Use Canned Or Fresh, That Is The Question

When cooking with processed ingredients like taco sauce, pasta sauce, etc, you can easily sub those out for fresh seasonings and vegetables to reduce the point count. If you’re not following Weight Watchers, feel free to add in some tortillas (this casserole would be amazing wrapped up in a tortilla… omg) or even put some chips on top!

Make sure you try my Homemade SALT-FREE taco seasoning with this recipe! It has every bit as much flavor and it is heart healthy!

    Sounds great !!! I am going to try a serving over romaine lettuce for a taco salad and also thought it would be good over cauliflower rice.

FAQs

What is the difference between Weight Watchers freestyle and smart points? ›

What's the Same: SmartPoints – The new Weight Watchers Freestyle program still uses SmartPoints with the same calculation, so the majority of foods (with the exception of the new zero point items) will keep the same SmartPoints. SmartPoints are calculated based on calories, saturated fat, sugar and protein.

How do you eat Taco Bell on Weight Watchers? ›

To stick to your Points goals, ask to go easy on higher-Points options (like sour cream or cheese) and request extra black beans, lettuce, and tomatoes. You can also skip ingredients entirely (removing the seasoned rice, for example). Instead of a sugary soda, get water, says Young.

Does WW still use SmartPoints? ›

Hello, friends! Starting this week there is an all-new WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers) program they're just referring to as Points (rather than previous iterations like PersonalPoints, SmartPoints, PointsPlus, etc).

How many WW points are in a banana? ›

Weight Watchers Tips, Tricks and Recipes | Why is a medium banana 0 points ...

How many points are taco shells on Weight Watchers? ›

Tortillas are the base for tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, air-fried tortilla chips, and more. But average tortillas can pack up to 6 Points each—no small amount, considering they're a shell for other ingredients. That's why we love Tia Lupita Cactus Tortillas ($32.99 for three packs of 10 tortillas each).

What do the smart points mean on Weight Watchers? ›

How do Smartpoints work? Every food is assigned a SmartPoints value — one, easy-to-use number based on four components: calories, saturated fat, sugar, and protein. Calories establish the baseline of how many SmartPoints values the food is worth.

How many Weight Watchers Smart Points do you get a day? ›

How many Weight Watchers smart points are you allowed per day? Users are usually allowed about 30 smart points a day. This varies from person to person according to factors such as age, weight, and gender.

Are smart points the same as personal points? ›

As of today, SmartPoints are no longer the unit of tracking for WW members. This is a major change! The new points are called PersonalPoints, and are calculated using calories, fiber, protein, added sugars, saturated fats and unsaturated fats.

What is the Weight Watchers freestyle plan? ›

Based on our science-backed PersonalPoints® system, WW Freestyle encourages you to eat more fruits, veggies, lean protein, and less sugar and unhealthy fats. Our program also has over 200+ ZeroPoint™ foods you never have to portion or track. Spend your personalized PersonalPoints Budget on any food you like.
