Since I know others out there have to eat low carb diets, be it for weight loss or things like diabetes and hypoglycemia, I thought I would share a quick, easy, and low-carb way to deal with pizza cravings.
Go to the store and get some tortilla shells. Flour will do, but if you want the best type of carb even in this small an amount, go for corn or whole wheat. Pre-heat the oven to 450. Lay the shell out on a baking sheet, or a wooden paddle if you have a stone in your oven. Put a small amount of oil (olive, garlic, or truffle) on it and spread it over the shell. Lay down your cheese, and then put whatever toppings you want (if any) on top of the cheese. Place in the hot oven and “cook” until the cheese is melted and/or the ingredients are done. Doesn’t take long, so keep a close eye on it.
Pull the pizza out of the oven, cut it up, and enjoy. A variation of this is to get the small shells, and do individual pizzas. This is also a great way to get kids involved and let them start learning about cooking while doing their own.
Enjoy.
