Spicy Taco Zucchini Boats Are VersatileĀ
I love how versatile zucchini boats are to make. They are easy to customize for individual tastes and preferences.
I have some family members that are a little pickier than others. Yes, I can fall into that category myself, LOL. This recipe is simple to add or subtract from to make everyone happy at the dinner table.Ā
When I make these at home, I will definitely leave out the onions!Ā šĀ
Taco Zucchini Boats are WW Friendly
I love how WW-friendly these taco zucchini boats are and how filling.Ā
If you make the zucchini boats exactly as I have them listed, each is 2 points for the blue and purple myWW plans. The green myWW Plan is 7 points. It is very EASY to make this a ZERO-point dinner by removing the mozzarella cheese.
On the current WeightWatchers Program (2023) it is 3 points per serving.
Cheese is the only thing in this recipe that has points. š It is your choice, of course. I like the added cheese, and it is only 2 points. They are great without the cheese too.
Easy Shortcuts for Zucchini Boats
I love shortcuts in the kitchen, and this recipe for Weight Watchers Taco Zucchini Boats has several.
The recipe calls for 1-2 jalapenos seeded and diced. This takes time and gloves. I usually just grab a few teaspoons of pickled diced jalapenos from my refrigerator. The flavor is great, and it reduced my prep time.
Another way to save some time in the kitchen is to brown up more than one pound of ground turkey at a time and keep the extra meat in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.Ā
