Next time they ask for pizza, you can feel good about saying "yes!" Flour tortillas make for a crispy crust, perfect for loading with low-sodium tomato sauce, low-fat cheese, and lots of fresh veggies.

Ingredients

  • 4 6" flour tortillas
  • 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Notes

MyPlate Tip: To make "personalized pizzas," set up a pizza-making station in the kitchen. Use low-fat cheese and cut up vegetables or fruits for toppings. Let kids choose their own favorites then pop pizzas into the oven to cook. Serving Suggestion: Serve pizzas with Citrus Salad for a surprisingly refreshing meal.
