Ultra-Thin crust Pizza

While most Pizzas have a thick or moderately thick crust, occasionally you will find what is called cracker thin crust.  Since most of the hidden calories actually are in the crust, the thinner the better if you are trying to limit fats and calories, so the cracker thin crust is a good choice, but my thin crust is even thinner than the cracker thin crust.  I use a wheat tortilla high in fiber and low in calories as the ultra-thin crust.  The recipe I use allows a little better choices in toppings.

.This recipe is for one serving so adjust the values according to your needs.
.
Ingredients:

.
1-9-10 inch whole wheat tortilla.
2-tbs fat free ranch dressing.
1-tsp garlic powder
1-cup low fat Mexican style cheese. (weight watchers makes a good one)
1-cup Mozzarella cheese ( low moister-part skim milk)
1-cup filling (your choice)

.
Instructions:
Now its time to "Build" your pizza.  Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.  Lay your tortilla flat on a cookie sheet and apply the ranch dressing, sprinkle the dressing with the garlic powder, at this point you can add some Italian spices also, now add the Mexican cheese, then add your filling (I use a diced pre-cooked chicken breast)now apply evenly the Mozzarella Cheese.  Place your pizza in the oven a cook till the cheese has melted a starting to bubble.  Remove and serve sliced. That's it!!
