Tortilla Pizza

Approx. 150 Calories per pizza. Recipe makes 2 pizzas.

After a long day at work today, I didn't have the energy to spend a lot of time cooking dinner. This quick stove top "pizza" uses a whole wheat tortilla as the crust. Not only was it quicker to make than waiting for pizza delivery, but it also really hit the spot. Make one for a quick snack or two for a meal. The first one I made also included two kalamata olives, but with the feta ended up a bit too salty for my taste. The second one (shown above) tasted better to me.

You can pretty much use any toppings that you like, but you want to be careful not to let the tortilla get too wet or it won't get crispy or hold up the weight of the toppings.


Ingredients
  • 2 small (6") whole wheat tortillas
  • 3 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 4 Tbs fat free feta cheese (tomato and basil)
  • 8 basil leaves
  • 1/8 cup red onion (thin slices)
Directions
  1. Grill chicken until completely cooked.
  2. Place a tortilla in a non-stick frying pan.
  3. Add remaining toppings (feta, onion slices, chopped basil, and chicken pieces).
  4. Heat on high until tortilla is brown on the bottom and crispy.
  5. (If cheese doesn't melt or toppings aren't warm enough, microwave for 10-15 seconds)
