Turkey Taco Pizza

This is for dinner at my house tonight & my kids are jumping for joy!  They DEVOUR their Turkey Taco Pizzas like they are going out of style & I am happy because it is good for them.



Ingredients:
6 whole wheat tortillas
1 lb. lean ground turkey
1 can low sodium black beans, drained & rinsed
1 cup frozen corn (or fresh if it is in season)
1 Tbls. chili powder
1 Tbls. ground cumin
2 tsp. garlic powder (or 1 clove fresh garlic, pressed)
sea salt & black pepper to taste
6 Tbls. tomato paste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
*If you like more spice you can add some red pepper flakes or jalepeno peppers!

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375.

2. Season your ground turkey with sea salt, black pepper, & garlic.  Brown ground turkey in a skillet.  Be sure it is cooked through.

3. Add beans, corn, cumin & chili powder to the meat. You may want to add about 2 Tbls. of water to your skillet at this time to help incorporate the spices into your mixture.  Stir well & heat through.

 4. Place tortillas on a pizza pan or cookie sheet.  Place in oven for approx. 5 minutes to crisp up.

5. Take your tortillas out of the oven & spread approx. 1 Tbls. tomato paste on each tortilla.  Divide the meat mixture evenly among the tortillas.  Top with cheddar cheese.

6. Return your Turkey Taco Pizzas to the oven for approx. 5 mins. or until the cheese is melted.

7. Cut into slices with a pizza cutter & serve!

We like our Turkey Taco Pizzas with salad or fresh veggies.
Enjoy this family favorite!
