Mexican Pizza Flatbread

Just for a little change from turkey leftovers, how about some Mexican food.

Or maybe even a pizza.

Or let’s make it a Mexican pizza while we’re at it.

This pizza is made on flatbread to lighten it up a bit.

Flatbread is actually pretty sturdy for as thin as it is. And it gets crispy which tastes great with the pizza toppings.

So do you still have Thanksgiving leftovers in your fridge?

I do and I’m hoping I use up as much as possible before I reach my turkey leftover limit.

Have a great week.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Hamburger, salt, pepper, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, Mexican oregano, garlic powder, cheddar cheese, tomato, green onion, avocado, sour cream, salsa, cilantro (not pictured)….and…

….flatbread.

Here’s how to make it.

For the ground beef

Heat a medium size skillet on medium heat and add the hamburger,

chili powder, onion powder, pepper, Mexican oregano, cumin and…

…salt.

Stir the spices in to the hamburger and stir as the meat cooks. Continue until the meat is thoroughly cooked. Transfer the meat on to a plate with a paper towel to absorb the grease.

For the pizza

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Lay the flatbread on a cookie sheet.  Top the bread with the cheese.

Sprinkle the garlic powder on top of the cheese.

Top with ground beef,

and tomato.

Bake in a preheated oven until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread start to brown (about 8 to 10 minutes).

Mix the sour cream and salsa together,

and drizzle on top of the pizza.

Remove from the oven and top with the green onion, cilantro,

and…

…avocado.  Sprinkle pepper on top of the ingredients.

Cut into small triangles and serve while warm.

Enjoy.
