Add a photoOk, I admit it…I just love the original crunchy tacos at Taco Bell. Although small in size, they are quite high in fat and not very healthy due to the fatty beef, regular cheese and shredded iceberg lettuce… I decided to try and recreate the same taste but make it a whole lot skinnier. First off, I’m using very lean beef and draining the fat after browning it. I’m also using reduced-fat cheese and adding nutritious chopped tomatoes and romaine lettuce. The results… An absolutely delicious taco that I think taste even better than Taco Bell’s! This skinny taco is just 126 calories, 4 grams of fat and has 3 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. With these numbers you can easily have two! Just one crunchy taco at Taco Bell has 170 calories and 10 grams of fat. Enjoy a taco night and let everyone create their own!

- In a large, nonstick pan or skillet, add beef, onions and garlic. Sauté together until meat is browned. Bring to sink, pour in a colander and drain off any excess fat. Add beef mixture back to pan.
- Add taco seasoning, water and mix well. Bring to a boil, turn heat to simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- To make one taco-add about ¼ cup taco meat to the shell. Fill with as much lettuce and tomato you desire and top with 1 tablespoon cheese. The taco meat freezes great.
