Healthy Recipes in a Hurry

Posted on by Meredith

By Luz Ana Osbun

Between working full-time, and being a part-time graduate student I’m definitely crunched for time! With such a busy schedule, proper nourishment can be a challenge, especially with drive-thru restaurants on every corner. A burger and fries ready in minutes sure is tempting most days!  But, rather than “give-in” to the fast food temptation, I’ve created a number of quick and easy recipes that are both delicious and nutritious.

These pizza recipes are two of my favorite options for saving time in the kitchen – ready in 20 minutes or less and under 350 calories each!

A key to keeping them quick and low-cal is utilizing La Tortilla Factory tortillas or flatbreads for the crust! My favorite options are either La Tortilla Factory’s Handmade Style Corn and Wheat Blend tortillas, or La Tortilla Factory’s Smart & Delicious flatbreads, but any variety will work, so choose your favorite.

If you try one of these pizzas let me know what you think. Or, if you create your own, please share as well!
