Tortilla Pizza

THERE IS BEAUTY IN SIMPLICITY

Sometimes the SIMPLEST things are just so FREAKING good!

Following a meal plan has always been my nemesis.  I have quite the sweet tooth, I enjoy beer and wine, and lets be honest... I just plain LOVE food (ALL of it).  It wasn't until I started eating whole foods & really portion controlling that I was able to actually stick to a plan.  In mid January I started doing Timed Nutrition - still with my portions too.  It is designed to properly fuel your body for your workout (pre/post) & throughout the entire day as well.

A few things I can tell you SO FAR with this timed nutrition plan...

1.  I haven't even been craving my usual snacks = NO cheat meals yet.  This is unheard of for me!
2.  I was a little intimidated by the structure & detail of this plan, BUT it has proven that sometimes structure is what we ALL need.  
3.  Results are ultimately made in the kitchen & I am seeing results after 13 days.
4.  I think absolutely everyone could benefit from a plan like this :)

Anywho I am going to get on with what I brought you all here for ... Tortilla Pizza!  

Who legit doesn't like pizza!?  Well I don't know of anyone off of the top of my head ;).  I really wanted a recipe that didn't involve hours of prep & that the family would eat (as that is usually the TRUE test if it will be made again).  This recipe ticks off all of the boxes.  The best part is you can make each pizza unique to each family members likes.  In this case that would make my daughter's pizza plain with nothing on it... so a tortilla haha!  I jazzed it up a bit though and added some cheese and sauce for her.

I rarely make these pizza's EXACTLY the same.  Lots of times I base it off of what is in the fridge.  I generally always prep chicken breasts on the weekend, so this makes for an EASY protein to add onto these tasty treats.

This week they turned out ULTRA delish though, so I will have to remember this combo.


Dane's Tortilla Pizza's

Ingredients:

3 Whole Grain Tortilla's (Or however many family members you have)
Olive Oil
Cooked Chicken Breasts (cut up)
1 Onion (chopped)
1 Bell Pepper (chopped)
Mozzarella Cheese
Epicure Italian Seasoning

Plain Greek Yogurt
Salsa (I used my homemade sugar free blend)

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F
• Lightly rub olive oil on the tops of the tortilla shells.
• Evenly place your toppings on the shells.
• Sprinkle your mozzarella cheese on top.
• Sprinkle the Italian seasoning on top of your cheese (This is KEY for flavour.  I will often use Oregano as an alternative option).
• Bake on a sheet for 7 minutes.  After 7 minutes switch to High Broil.  Broil for 3 minutes.  If you skip the BAKE part, the bottom of the pizzas will be limp and soggy.  Each oven temperature can vary so keep an eye on them (especially High Broil).
• Remove & allow a few minutes to cool.  
• I served mine with Plain Greek Yogurt & Homemade Salsa.  The Yogurt gives you extra protein & the salsa extra veggies!

Fixate Container Count: 1 Red, 1 Green, 1 Blue, 1 TSP
