Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large pre-baked flatbreads (about 8–10 inches each; naan, lavash, or store-bought pizza crust)
  • 8 oz ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken for a lighter version)
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (or cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack)
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (for drizzling)
  • 1/4 cup salsa or pico de gallo (for serving)
  • Lime wedges (to squeeze over the top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
  2. In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, for 4-5 minutes until browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes until the seasoning is well incorporated and the mixture is fragrant.
  4. Place the flatbreads on a parchment-lined baking sheet or hot pizza stone. If using naan, press gently to flatten any bubbles.
  5. Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the flatbreads.
  6. Spoon the seasoned beef evenly over the cheese, followed by the black beans.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over everything. Scatter on the diced tomatoes, sliced olives, red onion, and pickled jalapeños.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the flatbread are golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Top with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and drizzle with sour cream. Add salsa or pico de gallo and lime wedges on the side.
  10. Slice into wedges or squares and serve hot, with extra toppings on the side.

Notes

For best results, add wet toppings like avocado, sour cream, and salsa after baking to prevent sogginess. You can prep the beef and chop toppings ahead of time for quick assembly. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free flatbread. For vegetarian, skip the beef and add more beans or sautéed mushrooms. Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra bubbly cheese, but watch closely to avoid burning.
