Ever Evolving Food Blog

Hello Everyone! I have had this blog for years now, and as my personal life has changed, so have my tastes and eating habits...for the better!! I am now a fully plant-based eater, so my newer recipes will reflect this lifestyle and way of eating.

All of my old recipes will remain on my food blog, of course, so there will be a mixture of the old and the new for everyone to look through and choose. You can always play around with any recipe out there and make it your own, whether it's plant-based or not. There are always other options!
Thanks SO much for following! Happy Eating!

Mexican Pizza

Taco Bell makes a Mexican Pizza, which is 31 grams of fat.  This super easy recipe allows you to make it at home using lighter ingredients with only 18.5 grams of fat.  At home, you'll know exactly what goes into your food when you make it, especially when you use fresh or homemade ingredients.





Ingredients (makes 1 pizza)


2 tortillas (Mission, Carb Balance)
cooking spray
2 Tbsp fat-free refried beans
1/2 cup shredded rotisery chicken
1/4 cup salsa 
2 Tbsp enchillada sauce
1/3 cup shredded cheese (Sargento, Reduced fat, 4 Cheese Mexican)
3 Tbsp pico de gallo



Directions

Spray each side of a tortilla and lightly brown both sides in a skillet. Repeat with the other tortilla.
Lay one tortilla on a baking sheet and spread a layer of refried beans.  
In a small bowl, mix the shredded chicken and salsa together until well blended.
Spread out the shredded chicken & salsa mixture on top of the refried beans.
Put the remaining tortilla on top of the pizza, then spread a thin layer of enchillda sauce on top.  Top with a thin layer of cheese and bake at 350 for about 7 minutes.
Remove pizza from oven, slice, and top with pico.  Serve hot! :D

*You may also want to add freshly chopped green onions and a dollop of light sour cream if you wish. As always, make it you own! ;)
