Low-carb, whole-wheat tortillas make an easy base for these thin-crust veggie pizzas. The recipe yields two pizzas because that’s what fits on a standard sheet pan. You can double the recipe to make more; you’ll just need to cook in batches.
RD tip: The fiber and protein in this recipe make these pizzas a great midday meal to keep you full between lunch and dinner. Plus, the spinach gives you a serving of leafy green vegetables, providing you with iron, vitamin K and antioxidants.
Easy Five-Ingredient Tortilla Pizzas
Ingredients
- 2 8-inch (20cm) high-fiber, low-carb whole-wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup (118ml) low-sodium marinara sauce

- 2 cups (450g) fresh spinach, coarsely chopped

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220ºC). Arrange tortillas on a sheet pan. Bake until lightly browned, 2–4 minutes. Remove pan from the oven.
