Thought I would share a recipe for today's post. This was a much loved recipe from my Nutrition
Class. The Original source of the recipe was
one of our Biggest Loser cookbooks (Love those cookbooks). I adapted it a bit. I believe the original recipe called for goat cheese, but I changed it to mozzarella so it would please more pallets!
The best part is that you can eat the entire pizza and it is only considered one serving! Dietary information is at the end of the recipe.
If you make this recipe, let me know how it turned out.
Enjoy!
1 whole wheat flour tortilla
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
( sauce should have 7grams of carbs or less per 2 tablespoons)
3 tablespoons of goat cheese crumbles or low fat mozzarella ( made with skim milk)
3 tablespoons diced pineapple
1 tablespoon or more to taste of finely chopped cilantro
· Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
· Place the tortilla on non stick baking sheet. Bake 2-4 minutes per side. If air bubbles form while baking, poke them with a fork. Use spatula to carefully press the air out.
· Remove from oven and top evenly with sauce, chicken, pineapple, cheese, and cilantro. Bake pizza 2-4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Slice into wedges and serve.
This pizza is one serving: Approx: 217 calories, 7 g protein, 35g carbohydrates, 7g fat, 10 mg cholesterol, 2 g fiber

Looks delicious. I was just thinking about the Biggest Loser. I'm not sure how long ago that series was cancelled.
ReplyDeleteNot sure, but we did like watching that!
DeleteOoooh, these sound good! I love pineapple on pizza ;-)
ReplyDeleteMe too, but when we order out we never get pineapple on our pizza.
DeleteYummy! We make homemade pizza a lot--I'll add this to our repetoire!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to make homemade pizza with your family!
DeleteI am not a huge pineapple fan -- except in my smoothies! Otherwise it sounds good. :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could replace it for something else, maybe green or red peppers?
DeleteThat pizza looks yummy! I might try it with a mixture of goat cheese and mozzarella. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOkay, seriously??? This looks AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt is a very tasty dish!
Deletepineapple and bbq sauce do go well together on a pizza! Individual sized servings are great. Thanks for the link up
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would have ever thought to put those combinations together, but it works!
DeleteI love the goat cheese on this pizza.
ReplyDeleteI am boring and stick with plain old mozzarella...haha
DeleteMmmm. Great idea on the tortilla pizza! And the added chicken.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you try it!
DeleteI am a pizza fanatic so this totally speaks to me! And i love that you can eat the whole thing for one serving.
ReplyDeleteYes, the one serving thing is a great plus!
DeleteLove pizza and pineapple - sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I've never thought about doing a pizza on a tortilla.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using a tortilla crust!
ReplyDeletehmmmm not too keen on BBQ or pineapple on a pizza, but it does give me an idea to make an alternative!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing! I've never looked through a BL cookbook but I guess I need to! :)
ReplyDeleteI am so tired of trying to comment a bunch of different ways. I can't figure this out. I commented a few times earlier but I still don't see it so Ill try one more time.
ReplyDeleteI have a whole post on the perfect hardboiled eggs, secret is the ice bath.
and now I commented on the wrong post. LOL
DeleteThis looks really yummy, I love the addition of cilantro! I am thinking I would probably not use a tortilla though as it wouldn't fill me. But I get it, the whole point is to be low calorie!
