Taco skillet casserole - 2 points on Weight Watchers

Are you looking for a one pan dish that is quick and easy to make? Look no further than this taco skillet casserole!

This dish uses cooked rice to come together really quickly, or if you don't have rice that's already cooked you can cook the rice right in the pan by adding 3/4 cup dry rice and 1.5 cups of water. The dish will take about 25 minutes longer if you use uncooked rice and cook it in the pan. I use leftover rice from the night before's dinner.

The whole recipe is only 10 points on Weight Watchers blue plan (formerly Freestyle) and it's easily 5 servings, making it 2 points for serving. Top it with a little cheese and sour cream for extra points. You can also roll it up in a in wrap for a burrito, I like to do this the next day for lunch.

If you are looking for another great one-pot meal, you can also try my un-stuffed pepper skillet. It's similar but more like a stuffed pepper than a taco flavor. 

Ingredients:
Cooking spray
1.25 lbs 99% FF ground turkey (you can also use beef or higher fat turkey but it will increase the points if you are following Weight Watchers; my photos show lean beef)
1-2 packets taco seasoning, ideally low sodium
1 14.5 oz can fire roasted tomatoes
1 14.5 oz can of corn
1 14.5 oz can of black beans
1.5 cups of cooked rice

Optional toppings:
Shredded cheese
Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

Wrap or taco shell

Cooking equipment: Very large skillet or high-sided pot or Dutch oven (preferred)

Directions:
Spray pan with cooking spray and turn on medium heat, add ground turkey and season with 1 packet of taco seasoning. Brown the meat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Add tomatoes, corn, black beans and cooked rice. Stir. Add a second packet of taco seasoning if desired for a spicier/more flavorful dish. If the mixture appears dry (especially an issue with low fat meat) add up to a .5 cup of water. Allow to warm fully and simmer uncovered about 5-8 minutes.

Top with cheese and sour cream or yogurt,if desired and serve.

When made with 99% FF ground turkey, the recipe is 10 total points on Freestyle. Dividing it into 5 servings makes it 2 points each, excluding any optional toppings. The 5 servings are pretty generous portions, easily 1 cup.
