Sante Fe Turkey Pizzas - TexMex

Ingredients :

4  whole wheat tortillas -- 8-inch diameter
6  ounces  ground turkey breast
1  small  red bell pepper -- chopped
1  small  zucchini -- thinly sliced
1/4 cup  chopped red onion
1 cup  fresh corn kernels -- or frozen and thawed corn
1 cup  canned salt-free black beans -- rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon  chili powder
1 1/2  cups  mild chunky salsa
2 tablespoons  chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup  reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend -- or Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, etc
2 tablespoons  chopped pickled jalapeno chile pepper -- optional
2 cups  loosely packed shredded escarole
1/4  cup  reduced-fat sour cream -- optional


Preparation Method :

1. Preheat the oven to 450F. Arrange the oven racks to divide the oven into thirds. Place the tortillas on 2 baking sheets.

2. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the turkey, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion, stirring frequently to break up the turkey, for 5 minutes, or until the turkey is no longer pink. Stir in the corn, beans, chili powder, and 3/4 cup of the salsa. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring until heated through. Stir in the cilantro.

3. Top the tortillas with turkey mixture, spreading up to 1/2-inch from the edges. Bake for 8 minutes, rotating the cookie sheets halfway through, or until the tortillas are crisp and browned at the edges. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 1 to 2 minutes, or until melted. Sprinkle with the Jalapeno (if using) and the escarole. Serve with the sour cream, if you wish, and the remaining 3/4 cup salsa on the side.
