Recipe: Meaty Pizza-Dillas

Displaying photo.JPGThis crispy treat combines Italian flavors with Mexican-style cooking.  Best of both worlds?  Taste it and see!

Ingredients:

1 oz. reduced-sodium ham, diced
15 slices mini turkey pepperoni
1 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 T prepared pasta sauce
2 10-inch whole wheat or herb tortillas

Directions:

Heat a large, dry skillet over medium heat.  If you have one, use a cast-iron skillet.  Place one of the tortillas in it.  Top with sauce (don't spread it all the way to the edges), then the cheese and meat.  If desired, you can swap or add other pizza toppings.  Top with second tortilla.  Allow the cheese to melt and the tortilla to crisp slightly, about 5-7 minutes.  Carefully flip the tortilla with a large spatula and allow the other side to crisp, about 4-5 minutes.  Remove from skillet and, once cooled slightly, cut into wedges.  Serve with additional pasta sauce for dipping.  Makes 1 meal portion or 2-3 appetizer portions.

(If you like, before you close the sandwich, you can sprinkle in some fresh or dried oregano or basil.)
