Low Carb No Guilt Tortilla Pizza Plus Video
Sunday, March 11, 2012
Low carb Flour Tortilla (5 carb) found on the shelves in the Mexican isle of your supermarket, you may even find them less!
Homemade or bottled sauce 2 or 3 tablespoons for each tortilla pizza
Lowfat shredded mozzarella cheese
optional: fresh or dried parsley, basil, oregano, cayenne pepper and garlic powder
Low fat topping suggestions: chopped peppers, broccoli, spinach, eggplant, mushrooms, olives, turkey pepperoni, sliced tomatoes, grated zucchini, baby shrimps
For White Pizza:
Low fat mozzarella
fat free ricotta cheese two to three tablespoons
2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
fresh parsley chopped
fresh basil chopped
salt, pepper to taste
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Place a tortilla an oil sprayed piece of parchment paper or foil lined cookie sheet. Top with above suggestions starting with sauce, then vegetables or meat of choice then cheese. Sprinkle the cheese with herbs or spices desired.
For White Pizza: start with tortilla, spread a light coating of ricotta, sprinkle on the salt, pepper garlic and herbs on top, mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil. Bake as directed below.
Bake on a preheated hot oven of 400 degrees until the edges are dark brown but not burnt. This takes approximately 15 minutes but watch it, depending on the tortilla some cook faster. Transfer onto a plate, cool a few minutes as these get really hot!
Enjoy!

great idea for keeping it light!I love your diet recipes! Thanks for posting. Have a wonderful Sunday!
ReplyDeleteClaudia, I know what you mean by not wanting to blow everything with a fat-laden pizza. This is a great way to still get the taste, but without the guilt.
ReplyDeleteI used to make tortilla pizzas for the kids. They loved them because they could have what they wanted on their pizza.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea for a quick and light pizza, but very tasty ^_^ Bye, have a great Sunday
ReplyDeleteI could not say no to pizza for too long, so glad you found a lower cal option that looks perfectly delicious~
ReplyDeleteLately I have been making these and tossing a salad together and calling it supper. The husband hasn't complained, it's too delicious! Plus you don't have to wait long for dinner.
ReplyDeleteI love crispy crust on pizza...this is such a great idea! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great weekend!
Great idea. Looks very inviting as well as being healthy. Take care XX
ReplyDeleteBack to WW for the past month, so I can sure relate to the need to eat foods you enjoy. Have used tortillas for pizza in the past as well as pitas and, most recently, Flatouts. Just bought some part skim ricotta, so may just have a white pizza for lunch tomorrow. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteI will be doing this - we have been dieting here (well - it went out the window this weekend) and Paul really has a need for pizza once in a while - nice to find something that won't totally de-rail us!
ReplyDeleteDear Claudaia, Delicious, healthy and easy. A good combination. Blessings, Catherine xo
