I LOVE cheese and actually one of my go-to dinners
when I don’t have anything else in the house is, cheese-filled pizza.
I use good quality organic cheese and top it on healthy
“crust” like a brown Rice tortilla, sprouted grain bun or a spelt bagel.
But recently cheese has been making me feel really lethargic
and I actually didn’t have any in my house (because I ate it all!)
so I needed to find an alternative for my pizza craving.
So, instead of cheese, I topped my pizza with tomato sauce,
plus some protein and fiber-packed beans and veggies!
It turned out to be SO easy, more than delicious and SO pretty.
Definitely adding this to my list of staples.
Here’s the recipe:
Cheeseless Pizza
What You Need:
Brown Rice Tortillas (beige, not black variety)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
½ white onion, chopped
1-2 medium Sweet Potatoes, diced
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
½ cup tomato sauce
2 pieces Kale, chiffonade
*Serves approx 4
Directions:
1. In oven on high broil, place brown rice tortillas on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Toast/broil until crispy
2. In large sauce pan, sautee garlic with a little oil. Add black beans, onions, sweet potatoes and sea salt and cook until potatoes are soft. Add kale and cook for approx 3 minutes.
3. Spread approx. 2 Tbsp of tomato sauce on each tortilla and then spread a few spoonfuls of sweet potato/bean mixture onto each toasted tortilla.
4. Top with kale for nutritious garnish
5. Toast or broil in oven until hot and serve.
Buon Appetito!
