Ingredients

Mini Low-Carb Pizza

3 Low-Carb Tortilla

3/4 cup Grated cheese, mozzarella, cheddar and monterey jack work best.

3 Plum/roma tomato sliced

1 Bell pepper, finely chopped( to distribute weight)

1/2 Medium onion

Chopped fresh Basil and other fresh herbs work well if available.

these vegi's can Be subsituted for pineapple and ham, or pepperoni and olives or chopped roasted chicken

Preparation

First, bake/broil the tortilla wraps on a piece of aluminum foil or pan as to remove a fair amount of the moisture until it starts to turn lightly brown. The ends will begin to curl up. My method is 5 mins. on one side and then I flip it and 5 mins. on the second side. If you skip this step, the pizza will turn out very soft and limp.

While the wraps are baking, I slice the tomato, lay them out on paper towel and sprinkle them lightly with kosher salt to draw out excess water. This will prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.

Next, if I grate the cheese(s) if necessary. Buying pre-shredded cheese saves time but it's not as fresh.

When the wraps are finished baking, remove it from the oven. I spread the cheese on top and then the tomato slices on two tortillas, cheese and bell pepper and onion on the other. Then sprinkle all tortillas with any of the following: oregano, italian seasoning, garlic powder or fresh herbs. They then gets put back in the oven for about 3-5 mins until the cheese is melted and the ends of the wrap start to turn golden brown.

Remove from oven and let stand 1 minute. Layer the three tortilla, with tomatos on top and bottom and enjoy! I usually get the pizza cutter out and cut it into 8 slices.

Cook's Notes

Rule of Thumb For This Recipe: Any ingredient that contains a lot of moisture will soak into the wrap causing it to become very soggy and limp. Flaxseed meal can be added to soak up some moisture or if you have time you can roast vegi's first.
