1 point tortilla taco's

I've tried a few different 1 point tortilla's and the one that I like the best is La Banderita. They're the best flavor and texture that I've found. Too bad regular tortillas are 3 whole points because I LOVE them, but not enough to waste 6 points to make 2 small taco's.

Please share if you have found a 1 point tortilla you love!

I ALWAYS use ground turkey since Tom can't have beef. It has less calories and fat (even compared to the 10% ground beef). I'm totally used to it now and I'm even getting to the point where I prefer it over ground beef. I know, crazy! :)

Anyway, I fry it up, put 3 T. of taco seasoning and then about 3/4 C. of Pace Picante in it and let it simmer.

To make taco's I always change it up a bit.

This is what I did last time I made taco's (7 points)
tortilla (warmed)-1 point
2 or 3 oz. seasoned turkey meat-2 or 3 points
1/2 C. black beans (or kidney beans, pinto beans, or refried beans)-1 point
2 T. light sour cream-1 point
a good amount of diced tomato-0 points
1/3 C. WW fiesta cheese-2 points
lots of lettuce-0 points
salsa-0 points

If I'm doing it for lunch this is exactly what I would do. If I do it for dinner, since I allow more points for dinner, then I would make 2 taco's using 1/2 the cheese on each, 1/2 the beans on each and 2 oz. of meat PER taco. This would make both taco's worth 10 points total.
