WeightWatchers Chicken Tacos Recipe

I love chicken tacos but I must admit it wasn’t easy finding a diet-friendly recipe for this dish. Most of the chicken taco recipes that I’ve found online were around 9 points or more per serving, so I kept looking until I found this one. The nutritional info doesn’t include the toppings, just the basic recipe. Enjoy!

Saute the onion in large pan until translucent. Add the chopped jalapeno peppers and garlic, and saute briefly, stirring.
