Healthy Gourmet Tortilla Pizza

Often I find myself craving a deliciously cheesy, hot lunch of none other than Pizza. Aside from the FitnFree Pizzas in an earlier blog (which, by the way, are delicious), I have rarely found a pizza option delicious enough to curb my craving while avoiding the calories, carbs & fat of your standard slice of pizza.

Here is a great, easy, quick recipe for a pizza alternative that anyone with an oven or toaster oven can make. I promise that your taste buds won't be disappointed. I made this for lunch yesterday & used some of the rosemary that I bought for the cream cheese stuffed chicken earlier this week.

To make this recipe healthy, I chose a tortilla that was very high in fiber and protein: Mission Whole Wheat Carb Conscious Tortilla. The cheese is carefully measured out as it's very easy to be a little too generous with such a delectable ingredient (I promise my recipe calls for enough to satisfy your pizza craving).

Healthy Gourmet Tortilla Pizza

1 large Whole Wheat Tortilla

1 oz 2% part skim Mozzarella Cheese

1/8 cup Tomato Sauce (I like spaghetti sauce for the delicious spices)

Fresh Rosemary to Taste (about 1.5 TBSP)

Place tortilla on a standard baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Spread the tomato/spaghetti sauce over the tortilla. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Finally, sprinkle the fresh rosemary over the cheese.

Place in oven at 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes (ovens may vary). Enjoy!

I've also cooked this recipe with veggies. I find that cooking the veggies to their desired consistency before baking makes a much more delicious pizza. Otherwise, the veggies tend to be a little too crunch. Chicken & pineapple are also delicious!
