How to Make Tortilla Pizza
Use as many as you need of "Low carb Flour Tortilla (4 carbs)" found on the shelves in the Mexican aisle 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:
Tortilla Shells
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
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Directions for both:
Place the tortilla in a 12-inch cast-iron pan or baking sheet with breathing pizza holes in it.
Spread sauce evenly across the tortilla, leaving ½ inch around the edges. Sprinkle with cheese and toppings. Bake until the cheese is golden and bubbling
For White Pizza: start with the 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!
