Prep Time: 30 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | Difficulty: Easy

Satisfy your pizza craving with this healthier version.

Ingredients

1 low carb tortilla (8-inch, whole grain)

1 canola cooking spray (or canola oil in a misting bottle)

2 oz low fat refried black beans (equal to 1/4 cup)

1 tbsp. warm water

5 tbsp. fresh drained salsa

1/4 cup reduced fat shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Place an 8- to 10-inch skillet over medium heat until hot.

Lightly spray each side of the tortilla with oil.

2. Place the tortilla in the hot pan and cook 30 seconds to one minute or until lightly browned. Turn

the tortilla over and repeat.

3. Remove from the pan and cool.

4. Combine the refried beans and water and mix until smooth. Use a rubber or plastic spatula to

spread the bean paste over the tortilla. Be careful to leave 1/4 to 1/2 an inch of tortilla uncovered at

the outer edge.

5. Gently spread the salsa evenly over the bean paste and sprinkle with the low-fat Mozzarella

cheese. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for 5 minutes or

until the cheese is melted.

That sounds similar to what I eat for lunch nearly every day. I use a corn tostada shell, spread with fat free refried beans and a little cheddar cheese. Melt in the oven. Top with salsa, lettuce, tomato, etc.
