Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup Refried black beans (low-fat or fat-free)
- 1 cup Salsa (mild or spicy, to taste)
- 1 cup Shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
- 0.5 cup Cooked lean ground turkey (optional)
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 1 spray Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat on the prepared baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven for 3-4 minutes to crisp slightly. Remove and set aside.
Evenly spread about 1/4 cup of refried black beans onto each tortilla, creating a base layer.
Add a thin layer of salsa (about 2-3 tablespoons per tortilla) over the bean layer, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle each tortilla with 1/4 cup of shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend. For added protein, evenly distribute the cooked lean ground turkey over the top (if using).
Return the tortillas to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the Mexican pizzas from the oven and top each with diced tomatoes and chopped green onions.
Garnish with dollops of non-fat plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
Slice into quarters or halves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
