Weight Watchers Taco Pie

Taco pie is a flavorful and satisfying dish that can be served as a main course for a casual meal. Check out the servings suggestions below on how to make this a full blown meal.

I saw Felicia Fitness make this Taco pie recipe on her youtube channel and adapted it to what I like. If you haven’t checked out her channel on youtube yet, you should. I previously had a Taco Pie recipe on this blog that wasn’t very WW friendly that called for crescent roll dough as the pie crust. That was delicious but kind of high in points. This version of taco pie is much more WW friendly and the post has been updated to include points and nutrition info. 

I like my tacos with ground beef and love that I can easily find 96% lean ground beef at either Aldi or Wal-Mart now. Ground beef is something I pick up every week for groceries. Ground turkey or ground beef can be substituted for the ground beef. 

The tortilla I used was La Banderita Carb Counter tortillas. Ole Extreme Wellness brand is very similar and both are only 1 point for a tortilla. 

I don’t have any issues using fat-free cheese so if you change the cheese up a bit make sure to change it in the recipe builder. It will be more points.

 

Ingredients for Taco Pie

• 1 pound 96/4 lean ground beef 
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 
• 1 1oz packet of low sodium taco seasoning 
• 1 15 oz can of crushed tomatoes
• 1 ½ cups of frozen corn
• 6 6" tortillas such as Ole Extreme Wellness or La Banderita 
• 1 cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
• Green onions were used as garnish

How to make Taco Pie 

1. Preheat oven to 350. Brown the ground beef, onions, and taco seasoning in skillet. Add crushed tomatoes and corn and simmer for 5 minutes or until fully heated. 
2. Spoon 1 cup of mixture into round pie plate dish. Cover with 3 tortillas and top with another 2 cups of meat mixture and ½ cup of cheese. Cover with remaining tortillas, then remaining meat mixture and cover with foil. Bake for 25 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and bake another 5 minutes uncovered until cheese melts.

What to Serve with Taco Pie

1. Salad
2. Guacamole: You can easily make your own by mashing avocados, diced tomatoes, onions, and lime juice together, or you can purchase it pre-made at the store.
3. Salsa: A bowl of fresh salsa can be a nice way to add some extra flavor and crunch to your taco pie. You can make your own salsa by dicing tomatoes, onions, and peppers and mixing them together with lime juice and fresh herbs. Check out this recipe for zero point salsa. Zero Point Salsa
4. Refried beans: You can make your own by cooking and mashing pinto beans with spices and a little bit of water, or you can purchase them pre-made.
5. Chips and dip: A basket of chips and your choice of dips (such as salsa, guacamole, or queso) can be a fun and casual way to serve taco pie.

I am not affiliated with WW formerly known as Weight Watchers in any way. I am just a member who likes to create WW recipes and share them with everyone. I am by no means a nutritionist but try my best to figure out nutrition info for every recipe.  Freestyle is the name of the current program of WW and smart points are calculated for the recipes. 

How is this a WW recipe?

 NO FOOD is off limits on WW and WW themselves stresses that a lot on their social media pages. That is one reason why I love WW. You can pretty much eat ANYTHING to lose weight just as long as you stay in your daily points range or are in a calorie deficit.
