Ingredients

2 pounds of stew meat or any other cubed beef
1 large jar of salsa
1 cup of water
1/2 can refried beans (optional)
5-7 burrito size tortillas, (for gluten free, use a gluten free tortilla)
shredded cheese

Directions

Place beef, salsa and water in a crockpot. Cook on low 7-8 hours. When ready to eat, heat the beans in a small saucepan. On a baking sheet, lay out tortilla. Place 1/2 cup meat mixture, 1-2 spoonful of beans and roll the burrito and place back on baking sheet. Continue with all of the remaining tortillas. When complete, spoon remaining sauce over each one and top with cheese. Broil 2-4 minutes and serve. Can be made gluten free if you use a gluten free tortilla. Also very tasty with Spanish Rice (Quinoa) instead of the beans rolled inside!

Ingredients

For Sausage:

2 pounds of ground turkey
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/4 teaspoons paprika
1 1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons  fennel seed
1/8 teaspoon brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions for Meatballs:

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and combine well. Place in the refrigerator 24 hours. This helps the flavors combine together.

Take sausage mixture and add 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon each of oregano and basil, 1/4-1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese. Mix well and shape meatballs into golf-ball-sized balls. Place on a baking sheet 1 inch apart. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 12-15 minutes until cooked through. Thermometer should read 160 degrees.

Ingredients

1 head Cauliflower (small head)
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup  Romano Cheese
1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
pinch of Red Pepper Flakes if desired
1 tablespoon Almond Flour
1 large whole egg

Directions

Wash and thoroughly dry a head of cauliflower. Cut off florets and place in your food processor for about 30 seconds, until you get powdery snow like cauliflower. You should end up with 2-3 cups of cauliflower. Place the cauliflower on a parchment lined cookie sheet in a thin layer. Bake it for 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven.  When you remove your cauliflower, raise the temperature of the oven to 450 degrees.

Place the cooked cauliflower onto a clean tea towel and allow to cool for a bit. Once it is cool enough to handle, wrap it up and squeeze out as much water as possible. This is to help dry the cauliflower so your crust will be chewy instead of crumbly.
Note: You can  save time and cook the cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl for 4 minutes instead of baking in an oven.
Place the squeezed cauliflower into a bowl and add Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, salt, basil, oregano, garlic powder, red pepper if desired and almond flour. Add the egg and mix. Hands work best!

Use your hands to press the dough into a crust onto your oiled parchment paper. You want to spread it out like a crust keeping it nice and tightly formed together. Don’t leave it to thick or make it to thin that it won’t hold your toppings.  Slide the parchment paper onto your cookie sheet and bake for 8-11 minutes, until it starts to turn golden brown. Remove from oven. Top your crust with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese and toppings. Bake another 7-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool so you don’t burn your mouth eating this delicious pizza! Enjoy!!
