Easy Recipe: Low Calorie Weight Watcher Maui Tortilla Pizza

Confession: There was a small period of time that I was on weight watchers. Not many people know that but I am airing it out to the world. As a woman I know what it is like to feel self conscious about the way you look no matter how pretty you really are. I wish every woman could find things about them self that would make them be in love with their body and mind alike. HOWEVER, being a self conscious person myself I know this will never change. The more Hollywood subjects us to the airbrushed world of celebrity women, the more we are going to want to correct ourselves. And so today I decided to share one of my favorite weight watchers recipes "Maui Tortilla Pizza."

As we all know pizza is FATTENING, but there is a way to change that. While tortillas may not be as fulfilling as a pizza crust, you can still fight your craving with this easy recipe.


You will need a preheated oven at 400 degrees (Fahrenheit)


Ingredients

1) 4- 7 inch whole-wheat tortillas
(the "wheat" stuff always scares me but these are actually not so bad!)

2) 1/4 pound piece lean deli ham, diced


3) 4 (1 ounce) slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese


4) 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped


5) 1 (8ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks, well-drained and chopped
(YUMMYYYYYY i love pineapple so much, almost as much as cheese!!)

6) 3 tablespoons chopped macadamia nuts or almonds


Utensils you will need:

Baking sheet

Aluminum Foil

A strong will not to pick at the ingredients! (every little bite counts as cals)



EASY RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS:

* Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. (ooooo tough lol)

* Lay the tortillas out on the baking sheet. Layer evenly with all ingredients excluding pineapple and macadamia nuts/almonds.

* Bake until the cheese is melted. (apprx 8 mins)

* Sprinkle with pineapple and nuts! ( I like to add these when there is about a min left and slightly cook them too)


Tips:

No really... this is really that easy of a recipe. Nothing else to add





One of these pizzas is 226 Calories and only 2 g of fat. If you are familiar with Weight Watchers, then calculate 4 points a pizza!




The most important thing here is for every woman (or man i suppose) reading this to learn to love yourself. NEVER EVER start a diet because you are worried about what other people think of you. Anything you do should be for a happier, healthier, YOU. This pizza is truly amazing and the best part is that it is 100% good for you. I hope you have enjoyed this easy recipe.
