Weight Watchers Mexican recipes are delicious and easy to make. These are some of my favorite Mexican recipes with their Freestyle Smart Points included. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There’s a lot of amazing recipes out there to explore. Admittedly some of my favorite recipes are Mexican favorites that I recreate to the best of my abilities with some minor adaptations to make them suitable for Weight Watchers. <\/p>\n
The great thing about Weight Watchers is that there’s pretty much nothing that is off limits in terms of ingredients. Every ingredient has a point value and a serving size. It’s up to use to track everything that we eat so that the program can do its job! <\/p>\n
Yes! All of these recipes have been calculated for the Freestyle Smart Points version of the Weight Watchers program. Over the years there have been a few different versions of the program so it’s important when we are tracking our points to know which version they correspond with. <\/p>\n
If you want to try and lower the points in any of these recipes I’d offer a few suggestions: <\/p>\n
Every recipe is going to be different and call for different ingredients. These are just some general tips to help if you are looking for ways to reduce the points in any recipe. <\/p>\n
