Mexican Pizza

I found this on the National Body Challenge web site - it uses grilled Whole Wheat Tortilla for the crust - it is fantastic!!!!

MEXICAN PIZZA

Ingredients:

12 ounces cooked skirt steak (Carne Asada - recipe below)
4 large whole wheat tortilla
Cooking spray
1 cup finely grated reduced fat monterey jack cheese
1 cup finely grated reduced fat cheddar cheese
½ cup cotija cheese – crumbled - I couldn't find this
6 ounces tomato, small dice
2 tablespoons cilantro, fine chop
3 ounces red onion, sliced thin
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped

(I added red peppers!!!)

For Garnish:
2 tablespoons low fat sour cream

Preparation Method:

Marinate skirt steak (see Carne Asada recipe). Grill meat – medium done (slightly pink). Set meat aside to rest. Cut into small dice. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all the cheeses. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350º.
Spray the tortillas with cooking spray. On a grill, toast tortilla on both sides. Evenly spread grated cheeses, tomato, cilantro, red onions, steak, and a finish with a sprinkle more of cheese.
Bake in oven on a wire rack for 3-5 minutes at 350º until cheese melts.

Serve: Garnish with cilantro and sour cream. Slice and serve.
Serves 4 (Individual pizzas)

Notes:
For a better-for-you recipe, select whole wheat tortillas or tortillas with no lard.

CARNE ASADA

Ingredients:
3 pounds skirt steak, fat trimmed, butterfly
1 cup water
3 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
4 ounces brown onion, peeled, sliced
4 tablespoons cilantro, tear into pieces
1 teaspoon garlic cloves, peeled, sliced
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon unsalted meat tenderizer
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ each orange

Preparation Method:

In a large bowl, combine water, soy sauce, brown onion, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, meat tenderizer, pepper and orange.
Add meat and marinade to fully cover both sides.
Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours.
Heat the grill to a medium heat (you should be able to hold your hand about 4 inches above the grate for six to eight seconds). If using charcoal it should be glowing orange with a light layer of ash.
Place meat on grill. Turn steak once during cooking. Cook to desired doneness (5 minutes on each side for medium-rare).

Serve with beans and salad.
