# GERD Friendly Recipes

Pizza - Tortilla Style



Ingredients:

  • 1 fat-free medium size tortilla 
  • Cooking spray
  • Herbs of choice ( I used basil & Italian seasoning )
  • Bit of salt
  • Toppings of choice (I used sliced mushrooms, sliced black olives, and diced red bell peppers)
  • Dry Parmesan cheese (to sprinkle on top)
  • The meat of choice, optional (I added 1 -3oz chicken breast, cooked on our george foreman grill, cooled and chopped, sliced mushrooms, sliced black olives, chopped red bell pepper, and thin sliced low-fat mozzarella cheese)


Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray a pizza pan or an inverted cookie sheet lightly with cooking spray.
Lay the tortilla on the pan or cookie sheet
Spray the tortilla lightly with cooking spray
Sprinkle with herbs of choice, then add the mozzarella, then the meat, sprinkle a little salt over top of the meat & add the toppings, and then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Put in the preheated oven, middle rack, 14 minutes.
Remove from oven, cool slightly and cut into wedges and munch away

NOTE: I only eat half of the pizza and save the rest for lunch the next day.
To reheat and keep the crust crispy, first warm it in a microwave for about 30 seconds, then put the heated pizza in a medium hot skillet for about 4 to 5 mins (keep checking the bottom of the pizza to be sure it doesn't burn)

***MY MOTTO: Most any recipe can be made GERD FRIENDLY by eliminating your triggers and replacing with non-triggers.****

NOTE: I hope we all remember that GERD (as well as most chronic diseases) is multidimensional and individual. One diet might help someone while hurting another. What that means is - some recipes might work for some people while for some people they might cause reflux. Make sure that (based on ingredients) a recipe you've chosen won't trigger reflux for you. Thanks! :)
