Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup Refried black beans (low-fat or fat-free)
- 1 cup Salsa (mild or spicy, to taste)
- 1 cup Shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
- 0.5 cup Cooked lean ground turkey (optional)
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 1 spray Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat on the prepared baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven for 3-4 minutes to crisp slightly. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Evenly spread about 1/4 cup of refried black beans onto each tortilla, creating a base layer.
Step 4
Add a thin layer of salsa (about 2-3 tablespoons per tortilla) over the bean layer, spreading it out evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle each tortilla with 1/4 cup of shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend. For added protein, evenly distribute the cooked lean ground turkey over the top (if using).
Step 6
Return the tortillas to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7
Remove the Mexican pizzas from the oven and top each with diced tomatoes and chopped green onions.
Step 8
Garnish with dollops of non-fat plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
Step 9
Slice into quarters or halves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
