Thaw pizza dough over night.
Preheat oven to 425 F.
Cut dough ball in half. Refreeze or refrigerate remaining half.
Flour hands, pull dough until it looks like it's going to tear. Put onto baking stone and roll with a pastry roller until desired width is reached.
Meanwhile, heat sauce, water and spices to taste in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until reduced by half.
Cover dough with sauce.
Place pepperonis evenly over entire pizza.

Bake for 12 -15 minutes or until crust and cheese are golden brown. Top with more Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
Enjoy!

Bonus: There are only 18 grams of fat for the entire pizza!

Ground Beef Tortilla Pizzas

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

I've had a lot of requests for this recipe lately, so here it is.

Ingredients:
1 pound lean beef (95-96% lean) (I use and recommend Laura's Lean Beef)
Whole Wheat tortillas
1 small can tomato sauce
Reduced or Low-fat mozzerella cheese
2 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tsp Garlic flakes (I use and recommend Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic - click here for the link to order)
2 tsp Dried onion flakes (I use and recommend Tastefully Simple Onion Onion)
Salt and pepper to taste (I used ground sea salt and fresh ground pepper)
Olive oil
Any other toppings you may want. I used mushrooms.

Directions:
1. Brown ground beef in non-stick skillet.
2.Add 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp garlic flakes, 1 tsp dried onion flakes, and salt and pepper.
3.In separate sauce pan, heat tomato sauce, remaining italian seasoning, garlic, and onion. Add salt and pepper.
4.While beef and sauce are cooking, put a dime sized amount of olive oil on each tortilla.
5.Place each tortilla on a cookie sheet.
6.Poke each tortilla vigorously with a fork. (This eliminates the bubbles created when the tortillas start cooking.)
7.Bake in the oven at 375 degrees until edges start to brown. Remove from oven.
8.Add sauce, then beef, then toppings.
9.Top with 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
10.Bake in the oven until cheese is melted. Enjoy!
