Found this in a Weight Watcher's cookbook of recipes from the magazine in 2000. This is fast to make and has a nice flavour. Not a zingy dish, but the kids and I enjoyed it. 2/3 of a cup is 3 WW points.

Ingredients
- 8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
- 5 ounces light processed cheese (Light Velveeta)
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup salsa
Directions

While the noodles are cooking cube the cheese.3
When the noodles are done drain them and then return to the pan.4
Add the cubed cheese and taco seasoning. Stir well, until the cheese is melted.5
When melted, add the salsa and serve.

This was so easy to make. I made up a double batch and it disappeared fast. We really enjoyed this low-fat dish and will make it again. Nick's Mom

This was very good! I made my own taco seasoning using Taco Seasoning. Also used 8 oz light Velveeta so it was a little more cheesy (yum!) Very simple and fast recipe. Thanks ladypit!

Awesome mac and cheese! I used corkscrew pasta for this dish and it turned out very nice. Lots of flavor with the taco seasoning and homemade salsa. Very easy to make and fast as well. I used 8 ounces of light velveeta cheese. Made for "low in" or "Free of" challenge in the photo forum. Thanks Ladypit for another fantasic recipe.
