Weight Watchers Fajita Recipe

January 8, 2015 By Linda 5 Comments

Weight Watchers Fajita Recipe: 9 Points

Weight-Watchers-Fajita-Recipe

In addition to my renewed commitment to the blog, I’m also making a renewed commitment to my health.

 

And when I say health I really mean my waistline.  And my commitment is to reduce its size.

 

The health part will be an added bonus.

 

But it sounds so much more altruistic if I say health. And then talk about how I’m doing this for my family. And it sounds so much more vain and selfish if I say I want to be thinner. That the image looking back at me in the mirror just does not look good. No matter how hard I squint my eyes. Even taking out my contacts – and trust me, my eyesight is horrible – doesn’t help.

 

So I’ve spent this week preparing. Gathering recipes and making adjustments to reduce fats and calories. In fact, Weight Watchers has this great recipe builder tool that lets me play around with portion sizes and ingredients and tells me how many points per serving my recipes are (and, no, this is not a sponsored WW post; I just love this tool. It’s well worth the online membership fee).

 

I’ve also been putting together meal plans and grocery lists. This weekend will be spent chopping and slicing and dicing and cooking …

 

so I can kick off next week with a fridge and freezer filled with pre-prepared soups and stews and slow cooker meals. Apportioned in their own single serve containers that can easily be microwaved …

 

and consumed.

 

Because without the advance prep, I’m destined for failure. I know this to be true because I tried to wing it this week.

I’m pretty sure I gained another pound or two.

 

So advance prep is key. Because I need foods that are quick. And easily. And readily available. Because when I’m hungry, I’m huuuuuungry …

 

And if I don’t have easy-to-prepare healthy choices, I’ll resort to eating whatever I can get my hands on. Or drive through to get my hands on.

 

With that said, this Weight Watchers fajita recipe is one of my easiest, filling-est, and delicious-est go-to favorites. Especially since the grocery store sells a container of pre-chopped peppers and onions in the produce section.

 

I also pre-cook a few chicken breasts at the beginning of the week so I can cut them up for use in my fajitas, or to include in a salad.

    go Linda! I’m taking a run at “being healthier” this year too and I’ll be keeping my eye out for more great looking recipes like this! Your pictures are great by the way. I have a terrible time taking pictures of food.

      Thanks Danni! Yes, taking pics of food is challenging for me too – so I greatly appreciate your positive feedback! Here’s to our health (and waistlines) in 2015! 🙂

      It truly is my favorite! And so quick & easy! I plan to keep testing out and sharing more recipes here; aiming for a new one each week. I already have three more tried-and-true favorites that I plan to make this weekend – so I’ll be sure to take some pictures of them before eating. Which can be torture! 🙂
