Weight Watchers Slow Cooker Steak and Bean Soft Tacos are so tasty that no one will realize they are a “healthy” recipe! I love Weight Watchers recipes like that!! I also LOVE that these are made in the slow cooker because it does all the work for me.
Weight Watchers Slow Cooker Steak and Bean Soft Tacos
Steak is higher in points then chicken, but sometimes steak is just what you want. Luckily most of the ingredients are zero points so that helps keep this from getting too high in points.
Using corn tortillas is the best way to keep a lid on the points. If you prefer flour tortilla be sure to adjust the points for those.
This recipe is 5 Freestyle SmartPoints per serving. You get TWO soft tacos per serving! That is a nice filling meal!
