Ingredients
- 2 whole-grain flour tortillas or whole wheat, see shopping tips
- 1 cup onions, thinly sliced
- ⅔ cup chicken, cooked and diced into small pieces
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce, I like Sweet Baby Rays or Bull’s Eye
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced
- 6 tablespoons light mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Place tortillas under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes to toast, turn over and broil 1 more minute to toast other sides. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Place sliced onions on a microwave-safe plate and cook in microwave for 2 minutes, to soften.
- Add chicken to a small bowl. Toss with 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce and balsamic vinegar.
- To Assemble Pizza: Spread each tortilla with ½ tablespoon barbecue sauce. Use the back of a spoon to spread. Top each with ½ of chicken/barbecue sauce mixture and spread around. Place ½ of the onions all over the top of each pizza. Sprinkle each with ¼ cup tomatoes. Finally, top each with 3 tablespoons of light mozzarella cheese and ½ tablespoon Parmesan cheese.
- Place on a baking sheet and broil for about 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted and tortilla is browned. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
- Remove from oven. Place each on a dinner plate. Pull apart with your hands into pieces to eat or serve with a fork and sharp knife, if desired.
Notes
Makes 2 tortilla pizzas (this recipe can easily double, tripled, and so on)
Shopping Tips
I used Trader Joe’s whole grain flour tortillas. They are terrific. Each has 120 calories, 2.5g fat, and 4 grams of fiber. Most supermarkets sell whole grain flour or whole wheat flour tortillas. I also used the lite mozzarella cheese at Trader Joe’s.
Serving Tips
Sometimes I like to top this pizza with a garden salad tossed in my skinny ranch dressing. It tastes really yummy this way. The barbecue sauce on the pizza and the ranch dressing on the salad makes for a winning combination!
