Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
• 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 large flatbreads or naan
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for spice

How to Make Cheesy Stuffed Flatbread

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground meat. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, then cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
2. Stir in the chopped parsley and oregano, mixing well to combine. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
3. Lay out the flatbreads on a clean surface. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the flatbreads, placing it in the center of each.
4. Top the meat with shredded mozzarella cheese, then fold the flatbread over to create a pocket. Press the edges firmly to seal.
5. In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Carefully place the stuffed flatbreads in the skillet, seam side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
6. Remove from the skillet and let cool briefly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to seal the edges of the flatbread tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out.
• If you prefer a crispier texture, you can bake the stuffed flatbreads in a preheated oven at 375°F for 10 minutes after pan-frying.
• Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a flavor twist.
• Adding sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the meat mixture can enhance the filling.

Easy Variations

• Swap the ground beef or turkey for chicken, lamb, or even a plant-based meat alternative.
• Add different herbs like basil or cilantro for a fresh flavor profile.
• Mix in some sautéed mushrooms or spinach for added nutrition and taste.
• Try using different types of flatbreads, such as pita or whole wheat, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• A side salad with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the richness of the flatbread.
• Crispy potato wedges or fries for a classic comfort food pairing.
• A simple yogurt sauce or tzatziki for dipping.
• Steamed vegetables for a light, healthy side.
