1.0 tsp Chili powder
1.0 tsp Cumin seed
1.0 tsp Oregano, ground
3.0 1tsp Olive Oil
16.0 oz Turkey, Ground turkey, 93% lean

3.0 serving Black Olives, Black Pearls, medium pitted, 5 olives
6.0 serving Tumaro's, 8-inch Low in Carbs Tortilla, Garden Vegetable
0.5 cup Old el Paso Refried Beans - Fat Free
Directions
Brush the whole wheat tortillas with olive oil and broil in the oven about 4-5 minutes per side until puffy and golden.
Break up and brown the ground turkey in a non-stick skillet so you won't have to add any excess oil. Add cumin, chili powder, and a bit of oregano to the turkey as it is browning. Once it's cooked through, add one packet of beef flavored "flavor boost" stock, taco seasoning and water. Let it cook until this makes a thick'ish sauce, then turn off the heat.
Add the packet of taco seasoning. Add 3/4 cup water.
To the refried beans, add a little chicken stock to thin it out. We want to be able to spread it.
Thin out the beans with a little chicken stock. Maybe half a cup. This also pumps up the flavor.
Assembly: To the bottom tortilla, paint with red salsa, then add meat and a layer of cheese. To the second tortilla, add beans, then flip over where the beans are on the bottom next to the cheese. To the top of the second tortilla, paint with green salsa, add cheese, taco sauce,and olives (or whatever you choose).
Add the meat to the first tortilla. Add the red salsa to the beef. - you could also paint the bottom tortilla with it. Add some cheese. This will help to glue it altogether. To the under side of the top tortilla, spread a thin layer of beans. Flip the top tortilla over so that the beans are on the bottom.Paint the top tortilla with the salsa verde. Add cheese to the top. Drizzle some taco sauce over the top.
Dress up your pizza with sliced olives. However you think you'd like it!
Bake at 400 F until all melted or put it back under the broiler in the oven.
Cut into wedges with a lonnnnng knife and serve with condiments of choice. I like spicy guacamole and some reduced fat sour cream.
