Can you believe this Chicken Taco Salad is only 3 points for blue and purple, 4 points for green!?
(This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure for more info.)
I bought these taco salad bowl makers from Amazon. I love them!
They’re very easy to use – just press the tortilla into the mold and bake them. Then you have a low point taco salad bowl.
The Ole Xtreme tortillas are what I used because they are only 1 point each. I find them at the grocery store by the other tortillas.
I made the chicken in the Instant Pot but you can also make it in the slow cooker. I’ll include directions for both on the recipe card below.
To make the chicken I put it in the Instant Pot then added petite diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth and a whole lot of seasonings.
For the seasonings I used chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano and salt.
While the chicken was cooking I started getting the taco bowl shells ready. I just put the tortillas in the shell mold, you don’t even need to spray it with non stick spray. They’ll just pop right out after they’re cooked.
These are the taco molds that I used:
Once the chicken was done cooking I shredded it. Then it was time to assemble the taco salad!
I made mine by putting in a layer of lettuce, followed by the chicken, then some cheese.
The points for this recipe include the shell, chicken and cheese. If you want to add anything else doublecheck the points. I also like to add low point sour cream.
Cilantro and green onions are delicious too and 0 points.
