Pizza was always a staple for weekend meals at my house, but when I went low carb I had to get creative with ways to still enjoy pizza. Roasted portabella mushroom caps serve as a great vehicle for pizza toppings. Pile it high with your favorite toppings and eat it with a fork and knife. It’s a perfect way to enjoy pizza! Since Cinco de Mayo is so close I decided to make Taco Pizzas. These tasty pizzas utilize my Homemade Taco Seasoning and Homemade Taco Sauce recipes. Not only do you get to enjoy some pizza, but you can also feel good about what you are feeding your family.
Enjoy!
