Ground Beef Taco Flatbread

Was looking for a quick and easy dinner for me and the man. Had leftover pizza dough that I like to use for flatbreads. It is simple to add veggies to meat mixture and play with the flavors! Feel free to add your favorite hot sauce for a spicier kick. Serve with a side salad to complete the meal. You can switch out ingredients as you like; turkey or chicken for beef or experiment with different cheeses. Fold flatbread like a taco and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, diced

  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1 (11 ounce) package pizza dough

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1 small green onion, minced

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add yellow onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 10 minutes.

  2. Heat oil in a separate skillet over medium heat.

  3. Roll dough into a thin crust onto a work surface; cut into 6 equal pieces.

  4. Fry each piece of dough in the hot oil until golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cooked flatbread to a paper towel-lined plate.

  5. Top each flatbread with ground beef mixture, Cheddar cheese, and green onion.

Cook's Note:

Extra-virgin olive oil can be substituted for the canola oil.
