LuAnn'a Fajita Pizza
Source: Original recipe by LuAnn Bermeo
This is a VERY loose adaptation of a "PC" recipe. It is quick and easy enough to "throw together" for supper, and my family of 8 is HAPPY when I do so!! It is also beautiful and special enough to serve to company, either as an appetizer or main dish, and I have done also done that to "rave reviews." Several weeks ago, I demonstrated it at a heart healthy cooking class, and the people there liked it very well as well.
