Let’s be honest – sometimes you just want a big, cheesy pizza. The good news? You can have one without ruining your progress. This Spicy Tandoori Pizza hits the spot: it’s packed with protein, full of flavor, and won’t blow your calorie budget. It’s quick, satisfying, and a proper fakeaway you can feel good about – whether it’s post-game fuel or Friday night comfort food done right.
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet or pizza stone large enough for the pizzas in the oven to heat up.
-
Mix the tomato paste and hot water, then spread evenly over each tortilla. Sprinkle with oregano, black pepper, and the shredded cheeses.
-
Top with the sliced vegetables and chicken tikka pieces.
-
Carefully place the tortillas on the hot baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are crispy, the cheese is melted, and the veggies are tender.
-
While the pizza is baking, mix the light mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, and garlic powder in a small bowl to make a garlic and herb dip. Add more garlic powder if you want it extra garlicky.
Tips:
-
Vegetarian option? Swap the chicken tikka for a baked onion bhaji or seasoned chickpeas.
-
Love heat? Add crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle hot sauce on top before baking.
-
Cheat code: Use a pizza stone or cast-iron skillet for an even crispier crust!
