Pesto Pizza (BBQ Chicken Pizza, Buffalo Chicken Pizza)

YUMMMM! Maybe I'm partial because I love pesto and I looove pizza but this is a quick easy go to for a core plan lunch or appetizer at a get together. If gluten is not an issue for you, organic sprouted grains are the way to go. Ezekiel breads, tortillas, cereal, buns and english muffins are probably the best line of good quality organic sprouted grain products out there that I know of (usually in the freezer section and best stored in the fridge). Organic sprouted grains are much more easily able to digest. Sprouting grains break down enzyme inhibitors so that your body can more easily absorb calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc. It also increases B vitamins, and is a decent source of protein and fiber. Ezekiel breads also don't have any stripped or processed flours, bad oils, sugar or additives like many breads do. Keep in mind these breads still break down to sugar, so best in moderation and not too late in the day.

Have fun with these, there is so much you can do. Try different sauces, toppings and cheeses. Some ideas?
Buffalo Chicken Pizza (mix a little butter and hot sauce, coat cooked shredded chicken, spread across with some cheddar or mozzarella, some blue cheese chunks (Trader Joe's has raw).
BBQ Chicken Pizza make your own BBQ sauce without sugar/honey or use natures hollow bbq sauce, chicken, red onion and your choice of cheese.
Be creative, whatever you normally like but be mindful of the ingredients of sauces and quality of meats and vegetables if you use them.


I make my own pesto because I don't typically like the taste of store baught and it's usually made with canola oil or some other form of rancid oil.

Pesto:
2oz fresh basil (usually a pack)
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup of walnuts or pecans (pine nuts are usually too expensive)
1/2 parmesan
2 big cloves of garlic

Pulse together in a food processor. Taste and adjust to your likings and add more olive oil if necessary.

What you need!
Ezekiel Tortilla(s)
Raw cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Organic tomato
Pesto (recipe above)


Set oven at 350. Spread a layer of pesto on to your tortilla, cover with cheese and thinly sliced tomatoes. Bake until crispy and enjoy!
