    I got these two recipes off myfitness pal. I just tried the pizza last night w/ a salad and it was amazing!!! And I am going to fix the eggrolls for SuperBowl. Hope this helps. Also for the pizza sauce I used Butternut Squash pasta sauce, which was out of this world.

    12 egg roll wrappers (roughly 4 square inches)

    1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (6 ounces)

    1/2- 2/3 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce

    1 cup crumbled blue cheese (4 ounces)

    1 cup broccoli slaw or cole slaw (dry)

    Small bowl of water

    Nonstick cooking spray

    Blue cheese dressing, for serving

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lay egg roll wrappers on a clean work surface. In a small bowl, stir chicken* (see note below) and hot sauce until well coated, using more or less sauce depending on your spice preference. The meat should be moist with sauce.

    Begin by placing one tablespoon of the broccoli slaw on the diagonal of the bottom right corner of one of the wrappers. Next, place 2 tablespoons of shredded spicy chicken evenly on top of the slaw. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the blue cheese crumbles over the chicken. Do not overfill.

    To fold: Fold the bottom right corner over the stuffing mixture so that it covers it completely, with the tip of the corner now pointing to the center of the egg roll wrapper. Fold in the bottom left corner, followed by the right, so that you now have formed an envelope. Roll the wrap upward one time, leaving the top left corner open. Wet your index finger in the small bowl of water and press to moisten the top left corner. Now fold that down on top of the filled roll, sealing it like you would an envelope.

    Place the rolls on a wire rack set on top of a cookie sheet (or just on a greased cookie sheet) coated with nonstick cooking spray. Spritz each roll evenly with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls crisp and turn a light golden brown.

    I made this last night and it was really good. 200 calories is appx. The calorie count can/will change depending on what you put on top of your pizza, but 200 is a base (and probably even less if you only use cheese and sauce).

    1 - Light Italian Herb Flat Out Wrap
    1 - Tablespoon (or so) pizza sauce (I used homemade pizza sauce)
    1/4 Cup 2% shredded mozz cheese
    Onions
    Spinach
    Black Olives
    Mushrooms
    Cooking spray

    Spray cookie sheet lightly with cooking spray and place the wrap on the sheet. Bake in the oven on 350 for 7 minutes.
    Remove your crust from oven
    Top with all of your toppings of choice
    Stick it back in the oven for about 15 minutes or until your cheese is melted

    Enjoy!
