Pesto Salmon Pizza

I am proud to say that this one is my very own brain child! A happy success. Yum yum!
Needed: Skillet with a lid

Ingredients:
1 Guerrero whole wheat tortilla (120 calories)
2.5 ounces cooked salmon, pan-seared, broiled, or baked as you like (75 calories)
1 Tbs Classico Pesto Sauce (58 calories*)
1 Tbs Swiss cheese (46 calories)
1/2 roma tomato (9 calories)

Directions:
Toast the tortilla on one side. Transfer to a plate with the toasted side up and the uncooked side down. Spread pesto sauce on the toasted side of the tortilla. Top with salmon, tomatoes, and cheese. Return to pan. Cover with lid and cook until bottom of tortilla is toasted and cheese melts.

Transfer to a plate, cut into quarters and serve warm.

*That's what the jar says, but it is actually less. Whenever I open a jar of Classico Pesto Sauce, I always immediately dump out the thick layer of oil that sits on top of the rest of the sauce. That dumps out unnecessary calories and doesn't hurt the taste one bit.

This could also be done in an oven.

BBQ Chicken Pizza

Yeah, I love tortillas. So what? Everything needs a delivery vehicle. Tortillas are my low-carb jalopy of choice.

This recipe has been inspired by a combination of something I found in my Biggest Loser Family cookbook, a recipe that my friend Jennie made for me, and your basic bbq chicken pizza.

Needed: Skillet with a lid and additional saute pan.

Ingredients:

1 Guerrero whole wheat tortilla (120 calories)
1 Tbs Masterpiece Hickory Brown Suger BBQ sauce (30 calories)
1/2 cup onions, slivered or diced (34 calories)
1 ounce grilled chicken breast, shredded (47 calories)
2 Tbs goat cheese or part-skim mozzarella (38 calories)
1/4 roma tomato, diced (4 calories)
pinch of sea salt

Directions:
Spray saute pan with cooking spray and "I can't believe it's not butter" spray. Saute onions until tender, adding a pinch of sea salt. Remove from heat.

Toast the tortilla on one side. Transfer to a plate with the toasted side up and the uncooked side down. Spread BBQ sauce on the toasted side of the tortilla. Top with onions, chicken, tomatoes, and cheese. Return to pan. Cover with lid and cook until bottom of tortilla is toasted and cheese is soft. Goat cheese won't "melt" in the traditional sense. It gets very soft when it warms, but it doesn't spread out.

Transfer to a plate, cut into quarters and serve warm.
