Healthy Dinner - Texas Thin Crust Pizza

Our trainer recently let us borrow her Gourmet Nutrition Cook Book. We have been trying recipes from it here and there, and they are all pretty good!! Last week we made Texas Thin Crust Pizza and it turned out really good! It took about 20 minutes from start to time time we ate which was awesome! If you like pizza I would definitely try it!

Ingredients

Olive oil cooking spray

6 oz Ground sirloin or extra lean ground beef

¼ tsp Salt

¼ tsp Pepper

¼ Cup small yellow onion diced

¼ Cup red pepper diced

2 tsp Garlic minced

¼ Cup Tomato diced

2 tbsp BBQ Sauce

1 Whole Wheat tortilla

½ Cup White Cheddar grated

Directions

Preheat oven to 400. Preheat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Lightly coat with olive oil spray, and add the ground meat. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté the beef until lightly browned and cooked all the way through. Add the onions, pepper and garlic and sauté for 1 more minute. Add the tomatoes and BBQ sauce, stir until combined and remove from heat. Lightly coat a baking sheet with spray and place the tortilla on the tray. Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly, leaving the outside half inch for crust. Top with cheese and place in the oven. Bake until cheese is melted and tortilla is nicely toasted (about 10 minutes). Serves 1 large or 2 small
