Pizza-dilla

Introducing the Pizza-dilla, a delicious fusion of two beloved classics: pizza and quesadillas!
Yield: 1 serving
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 13 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 2 tortillas*
  • ¼ cup jarred marinara sauce
  • ¼ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, more for top sprinkle
  • 2 slices tomato for hearts
  • *I use a low-carb whole grain tortilla brand, which is reflected in the nutrition (each tortilla is 60 calories, 5 grams protein, 10 grams fiber). Choose a type that fits your eating style.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400˚. Mist a baking sheet with nonstick oil spray. Place 1 tortilla on top and using a heart cookie cutter, cut out 2 hearts. Remove tortilla from baking sheet and set aside.
  • Place second uncut tortilla on baking sheet and layer with marinara sauce and cheese. Place 2 tomato slices on top and cover with original tortilla with heart cut-outs, being sure to line up the hearts with the red tomatoes underneath.
  • Mist the top with oil spray and sprinkle on optional shredded cheese. Bake in oven until cheese is all melty and the tortillas are toasted lightly browned, about 8 minutes (watch closely so it doesn’t burn).
  • Garnish with optional herbs, like chopped chives or minced basil, and slice into pieces!
