Mmmmmm flatbreads…aka Naan (in my house at least). Naan is so easy to make or buy (ha!). It is way cheaper to make it at home, and I have a great recipe! However, I find myself just lacking time lately, so picking up a couple Naan at the store is no big deal. They are equally as delicious, but do cost a little more. I love the Naan at Costco, which are like 10 breads for $4 or something crazy. You can also get hem at regular grocery stores, usually in the bakery sections – sometimes my store has 2 packs on sale for $2 each, or 2 pack for $4. Haven’t tried Naan? Well, you’re seriously missing out. Stop reading and go buy them right now! Anyway, I came up with this recipe because I had some leftover Creamy Chipotle Bean Dip, and I knew it would be perfect smeared on the Naan and topped with some delicious ingredients. I tossed on some tomatoes, black beans (double beans double protein and fiber-woot!), corn, green onions, pepper jack cheese, and finished with fresh lime Greek yogurt. This recipe turned out AMAZING. Seriously, I ate one whole Southwestern Flatbread and was so full, yet I was wishing there were more to shove into my face. My husband was asking if there were any seconds as well. So good.
These come together in like 5 minutes flat, and then after 5-10 minutes in the oven you are done. DONE! They are crazy easy and quick to make, and they taste amazing. Don’t like something in the ingredient list? Leave it out! Or replace it with something else! I think these would be amazing with cilantro on top too, or some red onion…yummmmm.
I ended up using canned diced tomatoes on ours, I was wishing we had fresh tomatoes, but I didn’t want to run to the store. However, using canned tomatoes really didn’t take anything away from the recipe. They tasted great. Just make sure you strain them well because you don’t want the juice making the bread soggy. Oh, you could also add jalapenos or other peppers to the top; the options are endless!

You can easily double this recipe, for 4 flatbreads.
This recipe also keeps well. I made it in the early afternoon and then popped back in the oven for a few minutes at dinner time. Perfect!

I thought this was a recipe to make the actual flatbreads so disappointed

Hello!
This looks soooo fantastic! I can’t wait to try it. However did have a quick question, is it spicy? Like at all? I’m a big spice wuss, so no clue if the “chipotle chilis in adobo sauce” that is in the recipe is a spicy thing or not? Also, if it is.. is there anything you can think of that I could replace it with to keep the right consistency?
Thanks!!

Hi! You know, I would say this is really NOT spicy at all, but if you are like super super sensitive to spice, just leave those out. Chipotle chilis in adobo sauce are a bit spicy, if you use a lot, but in moderation, they give more of a smokey flavor. If you don’t want to risk it, I would use the beans as is, and add a bit of red enchilada sauce, just to make them more spreadable and not so chunky – maybe 1/4 cup into the food processor with the refried beans. That shouldn’t be spicy at all. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out! I can add that modification into the directions if you approve 🙂

Oh my goodness, I am so glad I found your site! I came here thru the Jalapeno Ranch black bean loaded nachos page, and then found this one, and several more! I don’t eat meat, so I’m seeing lots of recipes on here to try! Thanks for sharing.
Allyson says
Yes! I am also a vegetarian, so I have lots of yummy recipes to try! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some good stuff! The Spicy Thai Noodles are insanely popular right now, and a favorite in our house!

These were so good! I used pita instead of Naan, and added shredded chicken because it needed to be used up, but otherwise the same recipe, and loved it. I actually made it for breakfast because cereal or eggs just didn’t appeal today, and I know I’ll be fueled for the day with such a great meal!
