Go-To Dinner: Skillet Tortilla Pizza Redux
Well we made it to Tuesday, my least favorite day of the week. It's ok. Tonight I'm having dinner with my bestie Lindsey and so that makes Tuesday a good day!
I have to tell you about something. Ever since I started on Weight Watchers I've been on the hunt for easy peasy dishes and snacks that can be my 'safety' food. Things that I know I can eat guilt free and still be excited about eating them. A tall order?
I thought so.
In keeping with my recent tortilla obsession, I have been eating a lot of skillet tortilla pizzas. They are incredibly easy, come together in about 5 minutes and are incredibly tasty. Who needs a thick, doughy crust? Ok, usually I'd say me...but not if I have a crispy tortilla pizza around!
Skillet Tortilla Pizza Redux
4 WW Points+ for 8" size tortilla (taco size)
6 WW Points+ for 10" size tortilla (burrito size)
1 low carb, whole wheat tortilla (like Mission Carb Balance Whole Wheat)
1/4 C tomato sauce
1/4 C reduced fat shredded mozzarella cheese
dried oregano
dried basil
kosher salt (optional)
cooking spray
Spray both sides of the tortilla with cooking spray. Lay in a dry skillet over medium heat. As soon as it starts to bubble slightly and brown on the bottom, flip over and lower the heat. Pour on tomato sauce and sprinkle with oregano, basil and just a big of salt if desired. Sprinkle cheese over top. Lower heat or turn off completely and cover with a lid for 2 minutes to melt the cheese. Cut into quarters and enjoy!
I really love this as a quick meal for one, or even for a heartier lunch on the weekend. It's so quick, so easy and feels like such a treat! And for just 6 Points+, it's perfect with a side of veggies for a delicious, light meal.
Happy Tuesday all!

Have you checked out the Beth's Journey blog? She is a WW leader and has a lot of great recipes.
The tortilla idea is probably one of my favourite ideas i have seen from you (amongst others!) i must start making these again! My go to snack of late is Kiwi's i have been addicted to these like no other,they have the sweetness that i crave and they really do fill me up
hmm, i've never seen a tortilla pizza + i'm intrigued, especially since i've started making my own tortillas. i'll definitely be giving this bad boy a try. YUM!
My go-to dinner is a tortilla pizza as well! (Actually, I make them ALL the time - ANY time of day!) I always use the oven though, I hate cleaning our pans!
This is one of my favorite kinds of dinners. My easy go-to dinner is scrambled eggs (usually mostly egg whites) with a light english muffin and laughing cow cheese... plus whatever veggie I have on hand.
These look good, I am definitely adding them to my menu! So far I am loving WW. I had chicken breast, a sweet pototo and corn for dinner last night and it was SO filling!
