Chix Sausage and Veggie "Pizza" Recipe

Everyone loves pizza but nobody loves that guilty feeling you get after scarfing down half a greasy pie. Well skinny ladies and gents, say goodbye to guilt and hello to deliciousness- this easy chicken sausage and vegetable pizza will leave you feeling light and satisfied.
Here I Made With Baked Eggplant Fries!!

Serves 1

1 Josephs Oat Flax tortilla 
1/4 cup homemade or jar sauce (I used Classico Brand Tomato Basil)
1/4 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
1 link chicken sausage cooked and sliced( I use Al Fresco sun dried tomato and basil chicken sausage which is already cooked)
1/8 cup yellow squash sliced into small matchsticks
1/8 cup steamed broccoli
1/8 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 tsp. olive oil 
Sprinkle of dried basil and dried oregano 

Set the broiler on high. Carefully slip the tortilla onto the oven rack and broil for about 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Take the tortilla out of the oven and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees 

Heat the olive oil on medium high in a small frying pan. Add the mushrooms, squash, and a sprinkle of dried basil and oregano. Saute until vegetables are tender and fragrant. remove vegetables from heat and set aside. while the pan is still hot heat the sliced chicken sausage and set aside.

Spread 1/4 cup sauce onto the tortilla. Evenly distribute the sausage, mushrooms, squash, and broccoli on the tortilla. Lastly, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top. 

Place the tortilla on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is crisp. use a spatula to transfer the pizza on to your plate and cut into 4 slices. 

Next time I make this is may use pesto instead of tomato sauce! Classico brand makes a great pesto as well. Feel free to switch up any of the vegetables or add more, just make sure the toppings are not to heavy since the tortilla is on the flimsy side! One idea would be to use pesto, red pepper, and grilled or rotisserie chicken breast - yum!

Have fun and enjoy!
