Upon searching for a way to still enjoy my pizza I have seen and tried quite a few tricks. I think my least favorite was the good old zucchini crust trick. No matter how much I drained the zucchini, the crust still came out too mushy. Then, I remembered seeing a lot of people on weight loss programs eating pizza made on tortilla shells, and thought, "what the hell, I'll give it a try." Well, color me surprised, I loved it AND it did NOT spike my levels!!! With a huge tortilla (carb count of 30g) some cooking spray, a tiny bit of garlic powder, sauce and cheese, I had my fix. And it got nice and crispy and just... ohhhh soooo yummy. I still may not be able to max out on it like I would like to, but it satisfies my craving for pizza in a healthy way. And for now, that's good enough for me. (Of course, my kiddies loved it, too. SCORE!)
I'm just going to give the recipe for what I used to make one single serve pizza. If you're making more, just use however much more of the ingredients that you need. This one is certainly not rocket science. :)
Tortilla Pizza:
 | ||
| All for me... Come to mama! |
This is what I used:
- Tortilla (I used the big Nuevo Leon burritos size)
- 1/2 to 1 Tbsp of Contadina Pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup of store brand Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
- garlic powder
- cooking spray
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Place tortilla on baking sheet and give the tortilla a light spray on both sides.
- Lightly sprinkle the top side of tortilla with a bit of garlic powder.
- Spread about a Tbsp of sauce on tortilla, leaving some away the edge, like a regular pizza.
- Top with cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes, til cheese is nice and bubbly and tortilla is golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven, cut and eat.
