Recipe type: Dinner

Serves: 4 pizzas

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (16 oz) can low-fat refried beans (you may not need the entire can)
• 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (I would more than likely use ground turkey)
• ½ cup salsa
• vegetable oil, or cooking spray (olive oil)
• 8 flour tortillas, fajita or taco size (GF tortillas)
• 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce (you will only need about half a can) 
• 8 ounces shredded Mexican blend cheese (dairy free)
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 Roma tomatoes, diced

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. Warm up beans in a small bowl in the microwave. Combine chicken and salsa in another bowl and warm it up in the microwave.
3. To toast the tortillas, either heat oil in a skillet and fry both sides of the tortilla, or spray both sides of tortilla with cooking spray and heat on skillet (my preferred method).
4. Lay four of the toasted tortillas on a large baking sheet. Spread with about 2 tablespoons of refried beans on each tortilla. Top with the salsa/chicken mixture, evenly dividing it among the four tortillas. Top with another toasted tortilla.
5. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the top of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, evenly dividing it among the four pizzas. Bake in preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
6. Cut into triangles and serve immediately. Enjoy!
