WW LOW FAT TACO BEEF SKILLET DINNER



Ww Low Fat Taco Beef Skillet Dinner image

Since starting Weight Watchers, I have missed the flavour of Mexican foods. But with calorie-filled toppings and wraps, they're not always diet-friendly. So I came up with this meal- it has the flavours of Mexican food without the majority of the calories and if you have extra points, you can even add a little guacamole or sour cream on top! It's worth using fresh salsa, not the jarred stuff for this recipe- it adds a lovely fresh bright flavour. Using extra lean beef, this recipe has a total of 19 Weight Watchers points by British points calculations.

Time 30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large red onion
1 green bell pepper
2 cups beef stock
1 cup long grain white rice
1 lb extra lean ground beef
3/4 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup water
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
1 1/2 cups fresh salsa (not from a jar)
fresh coriander (optional topping)

Steps:

  • Finely chop the red onion and green pepper and set aside.
  • Put the beef stock in a saucepan and heat to boiling. Add the rice and cook, covered, until done (for my brand of rice this takes around 25 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, in a non-stick skillet start to brown the ground beef for 3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped red onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring, for a further 7 minutes.
  • Add the frozen corn and cook for 3 minutes more.
  • Add the water and taco spice mix. Turn down the heat and cook until the meat is done and the liquid is almost completely absorbed. This takes 5-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile check on the rice- it should be nearly done. Remove from the heat when cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  • When the meat mixture is cooked, stir in the rice.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the salsa. Serve immediately, topped with coriander/ cilantro if desired.
