Directions: Flatbread Tacos

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Start by following the instructions on the Krusteaz Flatbread Mix package. Combine the mix with water in a mixing bowl, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth.

Step 2: Let the Dough Rise

Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise for about 30 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.

Step 3: Cook the Flatbreads

Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle and heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4: Prepare Your Fillings

While the flatbreads are cooking, prepare your desired fillings. If using ground beef or turkey, cook it in a skillet until browned and seasoned. For a vegetarian option, warm your beans in a separate pot.

Step 5: Assemble the Tacos

Once your flatbreads are ready, layer your fillings. Start with your protein, followed by cheese, and finish with fresh toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve your Flatbread Tacos immediately while they are warm. Let everyone customize their tacos with their favorite toppings for a fun, interactive meal.

Seasonal Adaptations

• Spring: Use fresh veggies like radishes, asparagus, and arugula for a light, vibrant taco.
• Summer: Incorporate grilled corn, zucchini, and fresh herbs for a garden-fresh flavor.
• Fall: Add roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a cozy touch.
• Winter: Include hearty ingredients like roasted Brussels sprouts and spicy sausage for a warming meal.

What I Learned Testing

• Flatbread can be versatile; it works just as well with sweet fillings like Nutella and bananas for a dessert option.
• Using different proteins and toppings can completely change the flavor profile of your Flatbread Tacos.
• Cooking the flatbreads on a skillet gives them a nice char and enhances their flavor.
• Letting the dough rise is essential for the best texture—don’t skip this step!

Refrigerate, Freeze, Reheat

If you have leftover flatbreads, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To freeze, wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to eat, reheat them in a skillet or microwave until warm. The same goes for the fillings—store them separately to maintain freshness.
