Tortilla Pizza

Tortilla pizza is so easy to make – great for an appetizer, snack or light dinner. And really great to feed a bunch of kids who are hungry now!

We started with our favorite salt-free sauce, Enrico’s No-Salt-Added Pasta Sauce and some tortillas. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Then added a light sprinkle of reduced-fat cheese. You can add other favorite ingredients as well – the sky is the limit. But the kids wanted just cheese so we stuck to their order.

After 10 minutes baking – pizza is done!

Serve with salad:

And our 10 minute Microwave BBQ Chicken Tenders:

For the chicken tenders – we buy them frozen in large bulk packages from the Walmart super store. Put them frozen in one layer in a baking dish and then dab with a bit of barbecue sauce on top – go easy on the sauce because it is very high in salt. Cover with plastic wrap.

Microwave using the “chicken” automatic setting on the microwave (or 80% power for 12 minutes) and in about 12-15 minutes you have perfect cooked moist chicken tenders. Chicken is done when it is firm and no longer pink in the center.
