Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas, 6-inch size
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup canned, no salt-added whole-kernel corn
- 1/4 cup onion
- 1/2 cup red bell peppers
- 4 teaspoons fresh cilantro
- 2 cups roasted chicken breast
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Place flour tortillas on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350° F for 10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from oven; stack and press down to flatten. Set aside.
- Drain corn; dice onion, red peppers and chicken. Chop garlic and cilantro.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; coat pan with cooking spray.
- Add corn to skillet and cook 1 minute or until lightly charred. Add onion, red peppers, chicken and garlic; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
- Remove from heat; stir in lime juice.
- Place tortillas on baking sheet. Spoon 3/4-cup chicken mixture onto each tortilla; top each with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Bake at 350° F for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle each pizza with 1 teaspoon cilantro.
Helpful hints
- Always select natural cheeses instead of processed cheese. Sodium and phosphorus contents are usually lower in natural cheeses.
- Stick with the recommended cheese portion (2 tablespoons per pizza—or less) to keep phosphorus in a reasonable range.
