1 whole-wheat flour, 96% fat-free tortilla (8" diameter)
1/3 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup sauce from Superior Spaghetti and Meatballs (page 190) or jarred low-fat, low-sodium marinara sauce
1/2 cup (1 ounce) finely shredded, low-fat mozzarella cheese
1 recipe sausage from Individual Sausage-Rigatoni Bake (page 186)
Red-pepper flakes (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the tortilla on a small nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 4 or 5 minutes per side, or until crisp. If air bubbles form, poke them with a fork, then use a spatula or oven mitt to press out the air. Meanwhile, mist a small nonstick skillet with olive oil spray. Set over medium heat. Add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Set aside.
Top the tortilla evenly in layers with the sauce, cheese, reserved mushrooms, and sausage. Season with red-pepper flakes, if desired.
Bake for 2 to 4 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted. Slice into 4 wedges. Serve immediately.

It is critical that you do not attempt to make a pizza "crust" from a low-carb tortilla. It will smoke and burn, without becoming crisp.
