NewKristen 356 Posted April 4, 2013 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!!! 3 ShariM735, Almostthere34 and smallbird reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewKristen 356 Posted April 5, 2013 can you share with us the brand of tortillas you used? So how many cal/pro/carbs in each pizza and how many did you have to eat to feel satisfied? 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewKristen 356 Posted April 9, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
