The exact points depend on your current WW plan and the specific brands used, but approximately:

  • Using extra-lean chicken breast + fat-free/reduced-fat cheese: 2–4 Points per serving
  • Using regular ground chicken and more cheese: potentially 4–6+ Points per serving

For the lowest-point version, use 99% fat-free ground chicken breast, zero-point taco seasonings/sauce where possible, and light cheese. 🌮🧀 Homemade ground chicken, great value peppers & onions blend, 2 10 oz bags of cauliflower rice, 1 can fire roasted great value taco sauce, 2 cans black beans, 2 cans Mexican corn, 2 can green chilies, season however you wish, topped with 3 tablespoons of Walden Farms Street Taco Sauce – Queso variety.
