Cuisine: Mexican-American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle for even heating.
- Place the flatbreads on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spread out and not overlapping.
- Spread an even layer of salsa across each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges for a crispy crust.
- Distribute the shredded chicken evenly over the salsa, covering the entire surface of each flatbread.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken, ensuring uniform coverage.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the flatbread are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Arrange the freshly sliced avocado on top of the hot flatbreads.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves for added flavor and color.
- Slice each flatbread into quarters and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Make sure your oven is fully preheated to 425°F for that perfect crispy crust and melted cheese.
- Ingredient Prep Hack: Shred your chicken ahead of time and have all ingredients ready before you start assembling to make the process smooth and quick.
- Cheese Selection: Use a blend of cheeses for more complex flavor – try mixing mozzarella with a sharp cheddar or pepper jack for an extra kick.
- Avocado Timing: Add fresh avocado slices after baking to keep them vibrant and prevent browning or mushiness.
- Customize Your Flatbread: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of flatbreads like naan or whole wheat options for variety.
- Make it Spicy: Add some jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce if you want to turn up the heat.
- Leftover Magic: These flatbread pizzas are best served immediately, but if you have leftovers, reheat in the oven (not microwave) to maintain crispiness.
