In honor of National Margarita Day, I planned a Girl’s Night to celebrate the existence of margaritas. I figured it was important to balance out the tequila with some substance, so I threw together some Weight-Watchers friendly enchiladas.
I had to allot some extra points for the margaritas (obviously), so I wanted to make sure dinner wasn’t going to break the SmartPoints bank. Luckily, these 7-ingredient enchiladas are only 6 Smart Points per serving!
Weight Watchers Enchilada Casserole INGREDIENTS:
- 1 pack of 93% Ground Turkey
- 1 can of Rotel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies
- 12 extra-thin corn tortillas
- 1 can of Enchilada sauce
- 1 can of corn
- 1 cup of fresh (or frozen) bell peppers and 1 cup of onions
- 1 cup of shredded cheese
- seasonings (salt, pepper, taco seasoning) for meat and veggies
- Optional: a margarita on the side to keep you company
Weight Watchers Enchilada Casserole DIRECTIONS:
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large skillet, cook ground turkey over medium heat until brown. Stir in the can of diced tomatoes and chiles. Add your cup of bell peppers and onions. Add taco seasoning and salt/pepper. Set aside.
- Place four tortillas in the bottom of a greased 13×9 inch baking dish. Spoon a layer of enchilada sauce on top of the tortillas. Cover with one-third of the meat and veggie mixture. Top with 1/3 of the can of corn. Sprinkle with 1/3 the pack of cheese. Repeat layers three times.
- Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes or until bubbly.
It’s one of the quickest things to throw together when you’re expecting company! I feel like I’m cheating by even calling this a recipe. Because I basically just dump things in a pan and then go sit on my couch and drink my margarita.
Questions of the Day:
- Do you have any cheat recipes like this?
- Are you doing the Weight Watchers program? What’s one of your favorite low-point meals?
Ooo this looks so amazing. I like that it’s not overly fatty either. I am so going to make this!

I shared this with my Weight Watcher members! Can’t wait to try it, thanks!
It’s been so long since you’ve done a recipe! This looks great Div. ‘dump and drink’ are my favorite kind of recipes too. 😘
This looks delicious! I’ve been following the Weight Watchers program the past two months. I have a burrito bowl recipe that we make almost weekly.

This recipe looks delicious. I’m always looking for healthy recipes that actually taste good and I think this one is a winner!
This looks delicious (and easy! My favorite!!). I’d sub out the turkey for something veggie (or perhaps even fake meat crumbles) but def something to add to the dinner rotation menu 🙂 thank you for sharing!

Love this balance!!! This enchilada casserole looks amazing, the perfect pairing up with a margarita!
This is a great idea! Using turkey was definitely a nice way to cut down on the fat. This could definitely be a good meal to bring to a party!

So that looks delish – more than 6 pts! Gonna have to PIN this recipe. 🙂
Looks really yummy. I am sure my mexican-cuisine-loving family will ask for seconds (and thirds). Using ground turkey did reduce the amount of fat in this dish. I’m trying out this recipe.
I’m currently not doing Weight Watchers. This recipe looks delicious, though. I know my family would love to try it.

Yum!!! This is great! I love enchiladas but they feel so intimidating to cook. I’ll have to give these a shot (no pun intended). Yay margaritas!
This does look like an amazing dish. It is always good to find tasty, low calorie dishes to make for health conscious people.
I’ve never heard of this. I’m not normally a weight watchers kinda girl. I may just have to give this a try though!
