Grilled Roasted Pepper, Red Onion and Mozzarella Pizzas

Ingredients:
  • 4 (8-inch) whole-wheat tortillas
  • 1/4 cup canned tomato sauce
  • 4 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup roasted red pepper (from a jar), cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
  • 1/2 small red onion,  very thinly sliced
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
Makes 4 Servings
  1. Lightly coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray and heat to medium-high. Grill tortillas until lightly puffed and browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Transfer to a cutting board, grilled side up. Spread tortillas evenly with tomato sauce and top with equal portions of cheese, red pepper and onion.
  2. Return the pizzas to the grill, toppping side up. Cover and cook until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Transfer pizzas to 4 plates, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. If you're thinking about calling to order a pizza in this heat wave, PUT DOWN THE PHONE RIGHT NOW! You don't need to call for pizza when you can make this in 20 minutes or less. You can easily buy these ingredients at your grocery store which makes these pizzas easy work. I highly recommend adding garlic or red pepper flakes and/or herbs for more flavor or heat. These are the second thin-crust pizzas from the South Beach Diet and the folks at South Beach did not disappoint. Those folks know how to make delicious gourmet burgers and they also make delicious gourmet thin crust pizzas. These pizzas should be served at your next gathering because it's a compliment to Italy and the Mediterranean and your guests will love you for giving them their own individual pizzas.
