Tortilla Pizzas
I can't think of a single person that I know who doesn't love pizza.  So, why shouldn't my 2nd blog post be about one of America's favorite foods?  I used to love a good greasy deep dish pizza from Pizza Hut.  But, now that I have gotten older and wiser and am watching my weight, I am trying to find more healthy and less fattening ways to have my favorite foods.  Now that I have found this healthier version of pizza, we have it at least once a week for dinner and I don't have to feel the least bit guilty!  The big BONUS is that it tastes soooo good and even better than the comparisons below.

I love a good Greek Pizza and my youngest son and husband love the traditional Pepperoni Pizza.  So, I will show you both here.

First, for comparisons sake, let's take a look at the nutritional values for the originals.  All nutritional values below are estimates using the My Fitness Pal app.

I used Cast Iron Skillets just because they are good at not having the pizza stick to the pan.  But, they aren't required.  If you use another type of pan or cookie sheet, just be sure to spray it with a little non-stick cooking spray.

Here's what mine look like before & after cooking:

For each pizza, just layer the ingredients below in order listed.  Bake at 350° for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the edges begin to brown and look cripsy.

This one is good too.  But, it is harder to get the whole grain tortilla and it sends to be a little more soft and floppy.  This recipe also substitutes the Goat Cheese for a Fat Free Feta.
