Mexican Pizza :)



Recommended Posts

So I saw a recipe on Facebook for Mexican Pizzas. They looked amazing. So I went to the store and found low carb soft tortillas. They had 3 net carbs ea.

I put refried Beans, taco meat and cheese on the tortillas and baked at 450 for 8 min. They were amazing!!! The best part was the tortilla got crunchy! There isn't much you can eat low carb that is crunchy! I will eventually try the cauliflower Pizza Crust, but for today...this was fan-freaking-tastic!!! :)

I used Mama Lupe Low Carb tortillas. They are ea. 60 calories/5 grams of protein/7 carb/4 dietary Fiber.

These are the taco sized ones. I put 1/4 of a cub of refried Beans, 1/4 of a cup of taco meat, and ten sprinkled with cheese. I ate one and was very full. I didn't put any salsa or anything else on mine. My husband put salsa on his.

wow I truly hope that at 11 weeks I can eat chicken quesadillas.

I imagine you will be able to, but it will probably be more like a 1/2 of a quesadilla. Ha ha.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
