Ingredients

• 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
• 1 cup Refried black beans (low-fat or fat-free)
• 1 cup Salsa (mild or spicy, to taste)
• 1 cup Shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
• 0.5 cup Cooked lean ground turkey (optional)
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
• 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 1 spray Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat on the prepared baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven for 3-4 minutes to crisp slightly. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Evenly spread about 1/4 cup of refried black beans onto each tortilla, creating a base layer.

Step 4

Add a thin layer of salsa (about 2-3 tablespoons per tortilla) over the bean layer, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle each tortilla with 1/4 cup of shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend. For added protein, evenly distribute the cooked lean ground turkey over the top (if using).

Step 6

Return the tortillas to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Remove the Mexican pizzas from the oven and top each with diced tomatoes and chopped green onions.

Step 8

Garnish with dollops of non-fat plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves if desired.

Step 9

Slice into quarters or halves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
