Ingredients
- 1. A pound of lean ground beef seasoned with a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 2. One small yellow onion, finely diced to bring out its sweet aroma.
- 3. Two cloves of garlic, chopped into small pieces for a burst of flavor.
- 4. A packet of taco seasoning mix, adding a medley of spices and heat to the dish.
- 5. A dash of red pepper flakes for an extra kick, adjust according to your preference.
- 6. Two tablespoons of canola oil to sauté and enhance the flavors.
- 7. A packet of pizza dough, weighing 11 ounces for a perfect base.
- 8. A generous cup of shredded Cheddar cheese for that gooey, cheesy goodness.
- 9. A small green onion, finely minced to add a fresh and mild onion flavor.
Step 1
Begin by warming up a large skillet on medium-high heat. As it heats up, start cooking and continuously stirring the beef in the skillet until it turns a delicious brown color and breaks down into smaller pieces, usually taking about 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, carefully drain out any excess grease.
Step 2
Next, introduce some flavorful ingredients into the mix. Add in the yellow onion, minced garlic, taco seasoning, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Keep stirring and cooking until the onion softens and becomes tender, which typically takes around 10 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, heat up some oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Now, let's get creative with the dough. Roll it out into a thin crust on a clean work surface and then cut it into 6 equal pieces.
Step 5
Take each piece of dough and fry it in the hot oil until it achieves a beautiful golden color, usually around 1 minute per side. Once fried to perfection, transfer the crispy flatbreads to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 6
To assemble your flavorful flatbreads, top each one with a generous helping of the cooked ground beef mixture, a sprinkle of melted Cheddar cheese, and a garnish of freshly chopped green onions. Enjoy your delicious creation!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize clear plastic containers with secure lids to store leftover ground beef taco toppings, such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and grated cheese. This not only keeps them fresh but also allows for easy access when you're ready to make another batch of flatbreads.
- 2. Consider freezing any extra cooked ground beef in portion-sized bags or containers. Simply defrost in the refrigerator overnight when you're ready to use it again. This helps prevent waste and saves time during meal prep.
