Ingredients

3 sticks light string cheese

6 6 inch corn tortillas

2 dashes salt

1/2 cup mushrooms chopped

1/2 cup bell pepper diced

1/2 cup onion diced

1 cup jarred pizza sauce

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping

17 slices turkey pepperoni (like the kind by Hormel) chopped


Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet or ovenproof platter with nonstick spray and set aside. Break each string cheese stick into thirds and place in a blender or food processor -- blend at high speed until shredded/grated. (Or tear into pieces and roughly chop.) Set aside. To make the chips, stack tortillas and cut in half. Cut each stack of halves into 3 triangles, for a total of 36 pieces. Evenly lay tortilla triangles flat on the sheet or platter, and cover with a generous mist of nonstick spray. Sprinkle with a dash of salt. Flip triangles and sprinkle with another dash of salt. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Carefully flip triangles and bake until crispy, about 5 minutes longer. (Leave oven on.) Meanwhile, bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add veggies and, stirring occasionally, cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add pizza sauce and garlic powder. Mix well and continue to cook until hot. Evenly top chips with sauce. Sprinkle with Parm-style topping and shredded/grated cheese. Top with turkey pepperoni. Return to the oven until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Enjoy!
