Mexican Casserole - Weight Watchers

Sam #3's Note:

This is a very different variation of "Mexican Casserole - 6.5 Weight Watcher Points". This is a little easier and quicker and I wanted to see the nutritional info on it. This is a great WW recipe as it's high in fiber, low in fat and is very filling. This can be OAMC as it freezes and reheats well after cooking. I havn't tried freezing before cooking though. It could also easily be made vegetarian simply by subbing the hamburger for another type of bean or meat substitute. Edited to add that these are *very* large servings and I calculated them to be only 7.5 points each if calculated using only 4 servings.

My daughter prepared this recipe tonight since I wasn't feeling well. She didn't have diced tomatoes so she used mexican stewed tomatoes and no chilis using ground turkey breast (used what was thawed). We loved it! It was so good. Our birds enjoyed it too. Thank you for sharing.

This is very tasty and filling. I took this as a party dip to a get together. I had low carb tortillas in the fridge, so I cut in strips and made baked them until crispy. I did add Cumin, and more chili powder. I also added about 3/4C of Medium Chunky Salsa.
