Who said pizza is junk food? Whole wheat pita bread, great northern beans and fresh vegetables make these appetizer pizzas a wholesome treat!
4 whole wheat pita breads (4 inches in diameter)
1 small onion, chopped (1/4 cup)
1 clove garlic small, finely chopped
1 (15-ounce) can great northern beans, drained and 1/4 cup liquid reserved
2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 2 teaspoons dreid basil leaves
1 large tomato, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 large green bell peppers, cut into 16 thin rings
1 cup shredded, reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
Heat oven to 425°. Cut pita breads around edge with knife to split in half. Place in ungreased jelly roll pan 15 1/2x10x1 inch. Bake uncovered about 5 minutes or just until crisp. Cook onion and garlic in reserved bean liquid in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in beans; heat through. Place bean mixture and basil in blender or food processor. Cover and blend, or process, until smooth. Spread about 2 tablespoons bean mixture on each pita bread half. Top each with tomato, bell pepper and cheese. Bake in jelly roll pan 5 to 7 minutes or until cheese is melted.
