Food for Thought: Tortilla Pizza Recipe



Tortilla Pizza Recipe

Pizza....one of the greatest foods in existance.  A food that I used to eat religiously every Friday for our family "Pizza Friday" meals.  As I started my weightloss journey, it became a food that I only saw maybe once a month for my one "free meal" for the week.  Until now... 

I am here to show you how to make an inexpensive, fast, and healthier version of this classic meal.  A recipe I guarentee everyone in your family will LOVE!

Ingredients you will need:

- 1 Large Mission extra grande tortilla shell
- 1/2 cup Contadina pizza sauce ( I love that they make it in a convient squeeze bottle)
- 5 ounces 99% lean ground turkey
- 17 Slices of turkey pepperoni
- 4-5 whole mushrooms chopped
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheese
- 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese




      



Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees

While the oven is warming, brown your ground turkey meat making sure it is fully cooked.
Then take your tortilla shell and place it on your pan, add sauce, ground turkey, pepperoni, mushrooms,  and cheese.



Place in oven for 13 min and wham-o bam-o a perfectly done, delicious, thin crust pizza.




Here are the nutrtion facts:

This is a food that my husband asks me to make almost nightly.  He loves pizza.  The beauty of this recipe is that you can make it however you like it.  Add more veggies or add different meats.  You can always use smaller "personal" sized tortilla shells (which also come in low-carb versions).  Make it how you wish and pizza on my friends.
