WW LOW FAT TACO BEEF SKILLET DINNER
Since starting Weight Watchers, I have missed the flavour of Mexican foods. But with calorie-filled toppings and wraps, they're not always diet-friendly. So I came up with this meal- it has the flavours of Mexican food without the majority of the calories and if you have extra points, you can even add a little guacamole or sour cream on top! It's worth using fresh salsa, not the jarred stuff for this recipe- it adds a lovely fresh bright flavour. Using extra lean beef, this recipe has a total of 19 Weight Watchers points by British points calculations.

Steps:
- Finely chop the red onion and green pepper and set aside.
- Put the beef stock in a saucepan and heat to boiling. Add the rice and cook, covered, until done (for my brand of rice this takes around 25 minutes).
- Meanwhile, in a non-stick skillet start to brown the ground beef for 3 minutes.
- Add the chopped red onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring, for a further 7 minutes.
- Add the frozen corn and cook for 3 minutes more.
- Add the water and taco spice mix. Turn down the heat and cook until the meat is done and the liquid is almost completely absorbed. This takes 5-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile check on the rice- it should be nearly done. Remove from the heat when cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- When the meat mixture is cooked, stir in the rice.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the salsa. Serve immediately, topped with coriander/ cilantro if desired.
