Note: This recipe appears in the WW Tastier than Takeout Cookbook. The people at Weight Watchers have done it again with these Mexican classics. Mexican food always makes ant occasion feel like a fiesta and always brings people to the table. You'd be amazed how quick and easy it is to make restaurant favorites at home at a fraction of what it costs to eat out. Plus, you know what's going in your dishes and you know who is handling your food. These upscale tacos will quickly become a favorite of family and friends. If you have time, marinate your tacos overnight so they become more flavorful when you cook and serve them. I also highly recommend adding a touch of sour cream and shredded romaine lettuce to these tacos to make them more flavorful and filling.
