Enjoy this spicy tex-mex pizza without all the carbs but has all the great flavor. A favorite in our home.
The three things I love the most to eat are burgers, brownies, and pizza. Of course, all three of those are not low carb. But that doesn’t stop me from figuring out a way to enjoy all 3.
I knew I needed a crust to make this pizza and low-carb tortillas were the first thing that came to mind. My favorite ones called Fit & Active Tortillas come from Aldis. I’ve made the pizza crust with cream cheese and mozzarella cheese in the past, but frankly, it’s a bit too much work for me in the kitchen.
The rest of the ingredients most people would have on hand anyway. So lets get coming low-carb!
ingredients for this recipe
- Crust – Low Carb Tortillas
- Ground Beef
- Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
- Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Taco Season (I make my own)
- Can of Rotel Tomatoes
- Chopped Green Peppers and Onions
- Sliced Black Olives
- Sour Cream and Guacamole for toppings, if desired
The picture above shows the order of how to layer the pizza:
- Tortilla
- Ground beef
- Jalapeno Monterey Jack Cheese
- Taco Seasoning
- Tortilla
- Drained Rotel tomatoes
- Cheddar Cheese
- Green Peppers
- Onions
- Olives
You could change out anything for this pizza but these are the basic tex-mex items to use.
I’ve also put thinly sliced lettuce and diced tomatoes on top before serving. A little guacamole and sour cream to top that off. It’s such a great meal.
Since the tortillas are round, I make this recipe in my trusty 10″ Lodge skillet. It really cooks up nicely and you can never go wrong using a skillet.
Mr. G asks for this recipe often and that tells me how much he loves it. He reminds me often that it doesn’t taste like I’m not eating that many carbs.
