Tortilla Pizza

pizza, tortilla

This is not so much a recipe as an idea. This is one of those things that anything you have on hand will be good. All you need is a tortilla, sauce, cheese. The rest is optional and depends on what you have in the house.

For this tortilla pizza I used:
1 tortilla
2 Tbs pizza sauce
1 1/2 oz low fat mozzarella
1 Roma tomato, sliced thin
1 Tbs diced canned jalapenos
1 Tbs Parmesan cheese

I preheated the oven to 400 degrees.  I laid the tortilla on a baking sheet, spread the pizza sauce over the tortilla.  Sprinkled with the cheese.  Laid the tomatoes on top and then sprinkled with the diced jalapenos.  I then baked for 10 minutes.

Other topping options that would be good: mushrooms, onions, pepperioni, chicken, garlic, etc.

And if you are out of tortilla, use a pita or an English muffin (though for that you probably need to cut back on the baking time.

The calorie content and Weight Watcher points will vary depending on what type of tortilla you use, how much cheese and what toppings you include.  For the version I made here, it was 4 WW points.

Cheese Quesadilla

cheese, quick, tortilla

This makes a nice light lunch or maybe even a snack.

1 whole wheat tortilla (I look for one that has around 100 calories and at least 4 g of fiber)
1/2 oz of reduced fat cream cheese
1 slice reduced fat American cheese
thinly sliced tomato

Heat a skillet over medium heat.  Spread the cream cheese over 1/2 of the tortilla.  Tear the American cheese in half and lay over the cream cheese.  Top with the tomato.  Fold the tortilla in half.  Place in the pan and cook on each side about 2-3 minutes until browned on each side and cheese is melted.

The nutritional info will vary depending on your brand of tortilla, but it will generally run around 200 calories or 3 Weight Watcher points.
