Pizza on a Low-Carb diet? Yep!
You’ll need a low-carb tortilla to use as the base. Either use salsa, pizza sauce or a low-carb ketchup for the tomato sauce. Again, the brand of low-carb tortilla I use is Mama Lupe’s – great taste and only 3 grams of net carbohydrate per tortilla.
Ingredient                                                Carbs
Tortilla                                                       3g
Sugar-free Ketchup                                 0g
Chicken                                                     0g
35g Mozzarella Cheese                          0.5g
10g pepperoni                                         0.5g
Paprika                                                     0g
Basil                                                          0g
Total Carbs                                             4 grams

Lay out your tortilla and spread on your sauce. If using salsa or pizza sauce, this may add another 1 or 2 grams of carbohydrate (which still makes for a very low-carb pizza). The amount of sauce you use is up to you; you can even go without it if you wish. Next sprinkle your grated cheese on top. Add any amount of chicken you wish and shake some paprika to coat it. Now add your pepperoni.

If you like also sprinkle a little basil on top.

Place in the oven for 15 minutes at 180 C / 350 F.

Mushrooms are also a great choice for a low-carb pizza topping. If you don’t want to purchase low carb tortillas (you should, they’re a life-saver!) you can always have a crustless pizza. Simply set your non-stick skillet over a medium heat and throw on your mozzarella forming a circle.

Wait until the cheese starts bubbling and add the toppings of your choice i.e. pepperoni, chicken, mushrooms, peppers, ham – whatever you like (no sauce this time). When the edge of your cheese turns brown, it’s time to take off the heat. You’ll be amazed that the cheese actually turns hard and crispy at the base. You can actually cut this into slices and hold in your hand without it flopping all over the place. What’s best is that it is almost carb-free.

Lower-Fat Tip – You could always use less cheese and/or drop the pepperoni.
