Mexican Salad in a Tortilla (Ww 6 Pts)

"This is a delicious recipe from Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook. The crunchy tortilla cups soak up the yummy dressing and become a treat on their own. To make the tortilla cups use my Recipe #381215 The Weight Watchers cookbook calculates the calories to be 307. Zaars calculation is lower which would make the points value lower as well. I think the cooking spray might be counted in the calorie count by WW."

  1. This was excellent, easy and light!<br/>I followed you instrucion for the tortilla shells (microwave method), used chicken, red bell peppers (instead of yellow and green) and I "lollo" salad. I didn't peel tomatoes as this is not necessary for us. I'm glad I had fresh cilantro as this combined with limes gives to this dish a fresh and tasty note.<br/>Thanks a lot for you recipe!
     
  2. Yum, we really enjoyed this flavorful and colorful salad! I used the corn tortilla option - and you are right, the flavor was great with the dressing on it! I made some chicken seasoned with chili powder and cumin, then shredded and added to the mixture. Thanks for sharing! All You Can Eat Buffet Winter '12
     
  3. What a nice lunch, thank you Dreamer! I reduced the onion by half. Used yellow tomato instead of red, and banana pepper instead of jalapeno. The crispy fresh tortilla bowl is perfect. Mine took longer than 5 minutes but it probably just is my oven. Definitely adding this to my Leftovers book.
