Tips:

  • Use low-fat ingredients: Opt for low-fat or non-fat cheese, lean ground beef or turkey, and whole-wheat tortillas to make the pizzas healthier.
  • Load up on veggies: Add plenty of colorful vegetables to your pizzas, such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Go easy on the cheese: While cheese is a delicious part of pizza, it can also be high in fat and calories. Use a moderate amount of cheese on your pizzas, and choose a low-fat variety.
  • Make your own sauce: Homemade pizza sauce is typically lower in sodium and sugar than store-bought sauce. Plus, it's easy to make! Simply combine crushed tomatoes, garlic, oregano, basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Use whole-wheat tortillas: Whole-wheat tortillas are a healthier alternative to white tortillas. They're higher in fiber and nutrients, and they have a slightly nutty flavor.
