Roasted Tomato Arugula Personal Pizza and Bacon Dijon Spinach Melt

There are so many things you can do with low carb tortillas. You can make a quesadilla, a pizza, a "crepe", a wrap, pinwheels, and tortilla chips. They're super versatile, and you can use one as a base for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. I've made so many different types of pizza using a tortilla, this is just one example. Personal pizzas are a good way to use up leftover veggies or meats left in the fridge. A few days ago I made Alex a sauteed mushroom and baby spinach pizza. He loved it. This one is a roasted tomato and arugula pizza, made using leftovers from the salad. (No I didn't keep the salad this long, the picture is from nearly a month ago.)

Roasted Tomato Arugula Personal Pizza

 Ingredients:

1 low carb tortilla (Tumaro's)
1/4 c. low sugar pasta sauce
1 handful mozzarella cheese
1 handful chopped baby arugula
a few roasted tomatoes, packed in oil, cut up
sprinkle of feta cheese (I used a French sheep's milk feta, you don't have to be that fancy)
Italian spices (oregano, basil, parsley)

Spread the cheese over the tortilla. Sprinkle on mozzarella. Add next 3 ingredients. Sprinkle on the spices. Bake in the toaster oven or oven (probably 350 F will do it) until edges crisp and cheese is melted.

You can do this little pizza with whatever you have on hand, veggies, meat, etc.

Bacon Dijon Spinach Melt

Ingredients:

2 slices bacon

several slices of Cooper or White American Cheese

1 handful of baby spinach. 

1 tsp. to 1 Tbsp. of dijon mustard, depending on preference

1 tortilla

Fry bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and allow to cool a bit. Lay tortilla in bacon grease. Cover with Cooper cheese. Tear up the baby spinach as you put that on top. Coat the spinach with the mustard using a fork to carefully mix it. Add fresh ground black pepper if you wish. Chop up bacon and sprinkle on top. Fold tortilla in half carefully and flip over. When the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, remove from pan and serve. Makes a meal for one or a snack for two.
