Tortilla Pizzas



Recommended Posts

so last night i got brave and made awesome tortilla pizzas. a little sauce, some turkey pepperoni, canned mushrooms, cheese.< /p>

i brushed the tortillas with a little EVOO first and sprinkled on some garlic powder.< /p>

i put the toppings on and baked on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes.

i did some online research and found that if you PRE bake them they get even crispier. going to try that tonight. SUPER good.

i'm 6.3 wks out, on a regular ALL foods diet and this was my first try with any crusted pizza. ate half of it, went down awesome good. no probs. i used the small fajita sized tortillas.

just thought i'd share~!

I love tortilla pizzas...I use Carb Balance shells, to help with the carbs.

My most recent favorite is BBQ chicken - I spread some Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce. Add some rotisserie chicken (you can even use deli turkey or ham). Top with mozzarella. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until it's crispy.

If you have a convection oven, it crisps the shell nicely!

I love this place! I didn't know there was a thing called Carb Balance! I'll be looking for those. I'm on the soft food phase and can have tortillas but kept thinking I "shouldn't" because they're just a simple carb.

Yes! They are made by Mission and you can find them at your grocery store with the other tortillas.

They taste great, come in smaller sizes (fajita are perfect for our small tummies).

I also make "chips" out of them - just brush with some olive oil and sprinkle some salt, then pop in the oven until crispy.

awesome. i would have to add red onion and some sliced bell pepper to that chicken, would be even more awesome!

i will also watch for those tortillas. i am almost positive i saw them at my kroger.

I made a tortilla pizza when my kids were eating French bread pizza the other day. Loved it! I used a bit of sauce, deli ham and mozzarella (ham because it's a bit more Protein than pepperoni...which I really don't like anyway)

I've also tried portabello shell pizza, using a portabello mushroom cap for the crust. It's pretty good too, but those mushrooms are very filling! I can't even eat one cap :)

Yes, the tortilla pizza is fabulous! It never gets boring because you can use so many different toppings. I've been sharing with all of my friends. My fave is fresh mozzarella, basil and sun dried tomatoes...yum. I will definitely try cooking the shell first because I like thin crust crispy pizza.< /p>

I made a delicious chicken fajita pizza with fat free refried Beans then topped with chicken and sauteed veggies. After that top it off with some fat free shredded Mexican cheese. Bake for 25 minutes and when it comes out put some avocado, salsa and a little bit of sour cream on it. It was so good! I had enough left overs to do them for a week for lunches.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
