Oh, Mah Goodness, BBQ Chicken Pizza!

Found recipe on the Internet.  Tweaked it a bit for personal taste.  Baked it.  Ate it.  Oh, my goodness, this is good.  We were all talking Southern by the time we were done eating.  We will be doing this again!  These turn out crispy and easy to pick up by the slice, and are soooooo good.  And the whole meal took less than 45 minutes.  You could also used pre-cooked chicken, but would still want the onions and bacon cooked fresh for this meal.

BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ingredients

1 cup chicken cut into strips (I used dark, but you can use whatever)

1 sweet onion, sliced very thin, slices cut in half

6 or 8 strips of bacon, cut into smaller pieces

1/2-3/4 c. BBQ sauce – whatever is your favorite

6 whole wheat 8″ tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese – mix whatever you’d like, but gouda and cheddar mixed is what we used

a few sprigs of cilantro

Directions

Toss the chicken, onion, and bacon into a skillet and cook until all is done.  For dark meat, this will take about 20 minutes.  For white meat, closer to 10.  Drain well, return to skillet.  Mix in about 1/2 c. BBQ sauce and heat through.  Don’t overdo this, you need the meat and onions just barely coated with the sauce, or you’ll get a soggy pizza.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place tortillas on a small gauge rack.  I used my cookie cooling rack, which has about 1/2 inch openings between the wires.  You can put these directly on the oven racks, but they may fall through when baking.  spread a very thin layer of BBQ sauce on the tortillas.  Place the chicken, onions, and bacon on the tortillas, keeping a lot of space between the pizzas.  This needs to be minimalist cooking – too many or too thick on the toppings, and you’ll have a soggy mess.  Sprinkle on the cheese, again, not too much.  You should still be able to see the chicken and onions.

Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.  Top with a few pieces of snipped cilantro.

Makes 6.  Each pizza will serve one person, unless you are hungry, then you might need one and a half to be satisfied!
