Easy Tortilla Pizza

Here is a recipe I got from a friend several years ago that Kari and I love! We had this tonight for dinner and so I thought I would share.

Easy Tortilla Pizza

Ingredients:
Olive Oil
Tortilla/Wrap (any type; we prefer spinach)
Pasta Sauce
Toppings
This can be anything you enjoy on a pizza. Some that we have tried are Turkey, Ham,
Chicken (already cooked), bacon (already cooked), mushrooms, pineapple, tomatoes.
Cheese (almost any type of cheese will work; we have used mozzarella, cheddar, and colby
jack..all worked well)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Coat each tortilla (1 tortilla per adult) with just enough olive oil to cover.

Place tortilla's in oven for 8-10 minutes. I forgot this tip in my first post: Use a baking stone as opposed to a cookie sheet.

Take tortilla's out and add sauce, toppings, and cheese in that order.

Place tortilla's back in oven for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are brown.

Finished!

A filling and low-fat meal (depending on your topping selections). Some suggestions to keep it low fat are to use low fat cheese and tortillas. Look for cheese that is made with 2% milk instead of whole milk. This is often marked very clearly on the front of the package. Also, try to stay away from higher fat tortillas. Whole wheat and spinach tortilla's can be found at most stores. Finally, shoot for lower fat olive oil. Either way it should be a recipe the whole family can enjoy!
