Taco Joe

Written by on in Dinner

Taco Joes are one of my families’ favorites!  It tasted like a sloppy Joe but with a hint of Mexican favors.  To me, it gives the old standby, Sloppy Joe, a little update.  And while we are at it, lets update it to be point friendly and help us hit our WW goals as well! I like to serve this on a 2 point bun.  My favorite is the Healthy Life Whole Wheat.  It can be a little tricky to find.  The Healthy Life Whole Wheat Hot Dog Buns, which are a little more readily available in my area and also 2 points, surely will work in a pinch! Hot Dog Joes anyone?  Hey!  Whatever gets it done!   Its the flavor that matters!

This recipe is VERY versatile!  Once you’ve tried it your WW life will change!  I love to put it over Spaghetti Squash and make Taco Boats with a little dollop of light Sour Cream or Non fat Greek Yogurt.  It’s also wonderful over a bed of iceberg lettuce and  a little Thousand Island Lite dressing.  You can even wrap it up into a burrito with an Ole Wellness wrap!

Another one of my FAVORITE ground beef recipes!  

I promise you once you have had this it will feel the void for several night of the week and your family will not even know they are eating a healthy, flavorful WW meal! This is a comfort food everyone can get behind…but it wont add to your …. behind! 

Sorry!  I had too!

      • Thanks for letting me know! The bottom cut off! It is 3 oz for one serving and that is 3 points on all plans. I do lean meat at 1 point per ounce. If you have a larger serving, plug it into your app. 5 ounces comes out to 6 points. WW rounds up. 🙂

  2. Barrett,
    Your name and or website address doesn’t appear on the printable recipe. You might want to change that to make sure people remember where they found the recipe so you get credit for posts mentioning it which will help you as a blogger.
    Thanks for all you do!

    • Thanks for mentioning that! I used to do it and somehow forgot! YES, pretty important!
