Easy Margarita Pizza and Asperagus




It's summer. We all need easy and dare I say it...we all need pizza. Here is a quick and delicious summer dinner for under 400 calories. 

This is a great family meal as well. The kids will love to help you make homemade pizza and its easy to make as many or few servings as you need. 

**note: lavash bread can be found at most grocery stores. It is usually wherever pita bread and flat breads are sold, not in the bread aisle. This brand was purchased at Walmart near the deli meat counter**



Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees 

Pizza:
Brush one lavash bread with 3/4tbsp olive oil and dust with garlic powder. 

Place the "crust" in the oven for 5-6 minutes until it is crispy and golden. 

Remove the crust and top with 2tbsp 100% natural tomato paste, basil paste (ground fresh basil in a squeeze tube available near lettuce & herbs in produce section) or fresh basil, 1/2 c thinly sliced cherry tomatoes, 1/2 c 2% mozzarella cheese, 2 tbsp fresh shaved Parmesan cheese and dried  Italian seasoning. (Meat optional- just make sure it is thoroughly cooked)  

Bake 5-7 min until bubbly and cheese begins to lightly brown.

Remove from the oven and drizzle with 1 tbsp reduced balsamic vinegar.

Asparagus: 
Wash and trim asparagus, place
on foil lined pan. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Roll them around on the foil so all sides are coated with the oil, then sprinkle lightly with sea salt. 

Bake in 400 degree oven (with pizza) 7-10 minutes depending on the size of your spears.

Yea, yea...you can thank me later...and you will, it's that good.

Lavash bread
