Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat low-carb tortillas
- 1 cup Low-sodium marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 20 pieces Turkey pepperoni slices
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Set aside.
Step 3
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce evenly over one half of the tortilla.
Step 4
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce.
Step 5
Add 5 slices of turkey pepperoni and a small handful of fresh spinach leaves on top of the cheese.
Step 6
Lightly sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano and garlic powder over the fillings for added flavor.
Step 7
Fold the other half of the tortilla over the fillings to create a semi-circle shape.
Step 8
Crimp the edges of the tortilla with a fork to seal it. Brush the top of the pocket lightly with the prepared egg wash.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings to make 4 pizza pockets in total.
Step 10
Place the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Step 11
Allow the pizza pockets to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a side of additional marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
