Whole-wheat wrap pizza
Whole-wheat veggie-loaded wrap pizza
Who doesn’t love pizza? Here is a healthier, whole-wheat, veggie-loaded version. A wrap mimics an ultra-thin pizza base, and is fuss-free and delicious. It goes beautifully crispy in the oven. Doing it yourself means that you control the amount of cheese and the type of toppings that goes on. This whole pizza has about the same amount of calories as one regular restaurant slice. So you can enjoy the whole thing all by yourself. Pizza + pajamas + a great movie = pure bliss.
Ingredients
- 1 whole-wheat wrap
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano or any dried herbs of choice
- 1/2 green pepper sliced
- 1 tbsp sliced olives
- 1 tbsp sliced peppadews optional
- 30 g sliced or shredded cooked chicken left-over's are great
- any sliced veg, such as mushrooms or zucchini these can be raw, they will cook in the oven
- 60 g grated Mozzarella or Edam cheese (30g = about 1 matchbox-sized piece)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to grill setting, or as high as it can go
- Place your wrap on the oven tray
- Smear your wrap with tomato paste and sprinkle with oregano or other dried green herbs
- Add all of your toppings. You can customize this according to your preference. Be creative and have fun!
- Sprinkle grated cheese over your pizza
- Put your pizza in the oven (center works well) and bake for approximately 10 minutes. Keep a close eye to make sure it does not burn. You want the edged to be slightly browned for best results.
- Remove from the oven and slice with a pizza slicer. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
Notes
To make recipe vegetarian, simply omit the chicken. To make it vegan, you can replace the cheese with a few tsp nutritional yeast or vegan cheese alternative.
