INGREDIENT NOTES:

COOKING SPRAY:

  • We are utilizing cooking spray in this specific version of the recipe. This is because it is lighter for Weight Watchers to use. For an alternative, use parchment paper and skip cooking spray.

LOW-CARB TACO SHELLS:

  • These are the main products to use for this recipe. Tacos hold all the delicious fillings. We use the low-carb ones since they are fine for Weight Watchers to use. These shells consist of fiber as well. Other options for this include lettuce wraps or corn tortillas.

FAT-FREE MOZZARELLA:

  • We utilize mozzarella that has no fat, since it is fine for Weight Watchers. It can melt very nicely in the taco shells and give a delicious cheesy taste. If you require an alternative, use light cheddar or vegan light cheese.

CHICKEN BREAST:

  • This includes lean protein in the taco and also does not include much fat. The taco’s taste becomes savory when we include this in the filling. You can also utilize mushrooms, tofu, or turkey pepperoni.

LOW-SUGAR PIZZA SAUCE:

  • We use low-sugar pizza sauce for this recipe. It still provides good flavors to the filling and cuts WW points at the same time. Using tomato puree or marinara is also an option.

VEGETABLES:

  • All the vegetables will provide nutrients in your meal. These also make the taco filling more satisfying to consume. The veggies also do not include many WW points in tacos. Other ideas for veggie options are jalapenos, zucchini, or spinach.

ITALIAN SEASONING:

  • Italian seasoning does not include much sodium in the meal. This boosts the taste of the overall tacos. Chili flakes or oregano are also options to consider.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Before anything else, preheat your oven to 200°C.
  2. Then, take the parchment paper and lay it on top of the tray.
  3. Spray cooking spray on each side of the taco shells.
  4. Then you need to put the shells over the tray for baking.
  5. Take about 2 tbsp of pizza sauce and cover the inside of the shells with it.
  6. Include the chicken and veggies inside the shells as well.
  7. Make sure to place them at an even distance.
  8. Then comes the spreading of fat-free mozzarella on top.
  9. For baking time, bake for ten minutes.
  10. After taking them out, enjoy your warm and yummy pizza tacos.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  • You can steam some veggies of your choice and pair these tacos with them.
  • On top of the taco filling, you sprinkle some crushed red pepper. This will make the tacos spicier.
  • Serving these tacos with some kind of dip will complete the meal. For that, you can utilize fat-free Greek yogurt.
