S-taco Pizza Chix

Last year, on my birthday, I started a fitness challenge called Road To 47 Kg where I have to loose weight from 74 Kg down to 47 Kg due on my next birthday. I lost 15 Kg but I didn’t make it on the target date. Yeah, that’s a very slow progress. Well, I missed a lot of my workout schedules and I ate a lot of, ehem, cheesecakes.

Lately, I started to pick up again on my goal. I was able to do my 4x a week (make it 5x) workout schedule and have been consistent with it. The result was amazing! So maybe, just maybe, I can reward myself with something to motivate me further. YES.

I thought of having pizza as my prize today. And because I’m still sore from lifting (the triceps ugh), I want my pizza loaded with cheese!!! What’s pizza with less cheese, right?! And lots of crunchy bacon too! Ah… two boxes please!!!

No no no, the purpose is to motivate myself. Not to gain weight again.

So why not make my pizza? Great idea. I can make it “lighter” so I can have lots of cheese with “less guilt”.

Okay, to make this pizza guiltless, I subbed the pizza dough with soft tacos (tortillas) and used Sexy Chix  Shredded Chicken Arrabiata instead of bacon.

I never thought Sexy Chix Arrabiata tastes this good! We always buy the plain or “In Guiltless Broth” variant so I was really surprised. Also, the Arrabiata sauce is tomato-based so there’s no need to use separate tomato or pizza sauce in this recipe. Nice right? It is also packed with protein, 98% fat free and has only 50 calories per 2-ounce serving. Perfect!

I added few slices of Purefoods Sweet Ham but you may omit it if you really want to go lite.

And here comes the cheese… this pizza recipe has lots of veggies so you can be generous with cheese! I used Magnolia Cheddar cheese. What I really like about it, aside from being too cheeeeesy and yummy, is it glides easily on my grater and does not crumble in my hands. Say goodbye to band-aids on my fingers! The cheese sauce for drizzling was made from my son’s favorite Magnolia Full Cream Milk and Magnolia Cheezee Squeeze. Yummmm!

Springform pan or pie dish? Both are fine ?

Since it is my reward, I made it a bit fancier – I stacked or layered the soft tacos. I put them in a springform pan so that the sauce does not seep to the sides. 

No springform pan? No worries. You may use a pie dish but if its size is bigger than the tortillas, you need to cover it like this to avoid the sauce from seeping too much. Lightly grease the foil so that the soft taco will not stick to it. 

Everyone in the house knows I can finish a box of pizza in one sitting. But since this S-taco Pizza Chix is “stacked”, it gives me the same satisfaction even with just a slice.

O-mi-gosh. Hey Sexy Chix Arrabiata, why didn’t I discover you earlier?

I love this pizza recipe. I need not worry about calorie intake, besides it’s easy to make — stack and bake. It’s great! Masarap, Masustansya at Kayang-kaya. You will love it too!
