I don’t know about anyone else, but willpower-wise, I’m not very strong. When I crave something, I need it. Just last week, that something was pizza. Yummy, warm, crunchy pizza with lots of toppings and cheese!
The solution my monkey brain came up with was: call Little Caesars, order a large pizza with Italian sausage, green peppers, onions, jalapeño... Stuffed crust? Don’t mind if I do! What was that? Italian cheese bread? Gimmie!
The rational part of me said that if I did that, I’d eat it all in one sitting and cry about it for days. (The cheese bread and large stuffed-crust pizza are, after all, 4,370 calories!)
What a dilemma! If only there were some sort of middle ground that wouldn’t break my diet, was less than 400 calories, and would break this strong craving...
Here it is! Feast your retinas on the 260 calorie Binge-Breaker Tortizza:
ingredients
1 large carb balance whole wheat tortilla (110)
1/4 cup any tomato sauce (60)
1/4 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese (90)
oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and garlic powder to taste
preperation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Grab your preferred tortilla. I used large. Smaller tortillas need less ingredients and would be less calories.
Put the tortilla on a baking sheet. Crisp it in the oven for about 2 to 3 minutes. No oil required!
After the tortilla is nice and crispy, take it out of the over and spread about 1/4 cup of your favorite tomato sauce around the tortilla. If you want more then add more! Tomato sauce is low in calories and gives a fantastic flavor. I used red pepper tomato sauce.
Sprinkle on as much mozzarella as you want. I use over 1/4 cup, because I love cheese. Now is also the time to sprinkle whatever seasonings you want on top, such as garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
Put the tortilla back into the oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is slightly browned, about 10 minutes
This recipe yields 1 tortizza. If you want to add toppings, add toppings! My favorite toppings are chopped spinach, sautéed onions and garlic, and carrot “sausage.”
I don’t eat this tortizza often, but if I could, I would! It doesn’t break my caloric limit and is super filling. With veggie toppings, it’s so much more nutritious.
