Grilled Tomato, Arugula and Feta Cheese Pizzas

Ingredients:
  • 4 (8-inch) whole-wheat tortillas
  • 4 medium plum tomatoes
  • 3 1/2 oz. reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tbsp thinly sliced fresh basil
  • 1 1/3 cups baby arugula
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Makes 4 Servings
  1. Lightly coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray and heat ot medium-high.
  2. Grill tortillas until lightly puffed and browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Transfer to a cutting board, grilled side up, and top tortillas evenly with tomatoes, cheese, garlic and basil.
  3. Return tortillas to the grill, topping side up. Cover and cook until cheese is softened, about 30 seconds. Top with arugula, cover, and grill another 1-2 minutes, or until arugula is wilted. Transfer pizzas to 4 plates, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. It's a hot summer day and you want something that is clean and fresh and will fill you up, this treat is for you and it takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. Who does not love pizza? If you're ever craving a pizza, DO NOT  CALL for pizza delivery! This pizza is colorful and very easy to make. If you love thin-crust pizza, then you 'll love the grilled tortilla version. The crust has a nice crunch to it topped with the flavors of the Mediterranean. You know how sometimes when you have a slice of pizza and it's too hot to eat you don't enjoy it as much? You won't get that with this pizza. The tomatoes, feta cheese, basil and arugula topped with drizzled olive oil, salt and pepper leave your palate clean and fresh. I also love how the grilled tortilla pizza is a whole serving because you can have your own little pizza and not have any leftovers. These pizzas should be served at your next barbeque because they are so elegant, sophisticated and delicious.
