Whole Wheat Tortilla Pizzas

Hello everyone! I was on hiatus for a bit, but I'm back. I don't think I am alone when I say that pizza should be it's own food group, and I know how ridiculous that sounds but pizza is fantastic, PERIOD. As you can guess, pizza is not considered healthy but there are ways to make it healthier. Like tacos, pizza is super versatile and anything can be added to it. I chose to make a few swaps to make my version of pizza healthier, while still maintaining delicious flavor. I made two tortilla pizzas the other day and they were very tasty. 

Ingredients for Pizza 1

• 1 whole wheat tortilla

• 2 tbsp reduced fat marinara sauce 

• 1/2 cup chopped broccoli florets

• 5-6 halved cherry tomatoes

• 1/2 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese

• 1/4 bell pepper chopped

Ingredients for Pizza 2

• 1 whole wheat tortilla

• 2 tbsp pesto

• 1/2 cup chopped broccoli florets

• 1/2 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese

• 1/2 bell pepper

• 1 4 oz grilled chicken breast, cut into slivers

Step 1: Grab your whole wheat tortilla and put your base down (pesto or marinara sauce). Load your pizza up with your favorite ingredients.

Step 2: Since the tortilla can fit in the toaster oven, that is where I made mine, but you can put your pizza on a baking sheet and into the oven. I set my toaster oven to 400 degrees.

Step 3: Cook for about 10 minutes, or until slightly brown and crunchy. Cut into pieces, top with some hot pepper flakes and enjoy!

The whole wheat tortilla saves you on calories while still providing a crunchy crust for your pizza. The toppings for your pizza should be on the lighter side because you don't want to overload your pizza. I chose to opt for grilled chicken for protein and some light veggies for taste and crunch. These tortilla pizzas are like having your own personal pan pizza, so that everyone can have their own favorite toppings. It doesn't take much to make this yummy dish. Definitely try it out!

ENJOY!!
