Ingredients
  

1 large flatbread or naan (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (grilled or rotisserie chicken works beautifully)

1 cup shredded cheese (choose from cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a flavorful blend)

1/2 cup hatch green chiles, diced (use fresh or canned for convenience)

1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned are all great options)

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional for an extra kick)

1 avocado, sliced or diced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Sour cream, for serving

Lime wedges, for serving

Olive oil, for drizzling

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Make sure it's fully heated before placing your flatbread inside for the best results.

    Prepare the Flatbread: Take your flatbread and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the surface with olive oil. This will help achieve a crispy texture as it bakes.

      Layer the Ingredients: Start by evenly spreading the shredded chicken across the flatbread. Next, scatter the diced hatch green chiles, black beans, corn, and chopped red onion on top. For added flavor and freshness, arrange the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced jalapeño (if using) over everything.

        Add Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded cheese over the entire surface, ensuring that it covers all the toppings for a gooey and delicious result.

          Bake: Transfer the assembled flatbread to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. Bake until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread have turned a lovely golden brown.

            Finish and Serve: After baking, carefully remove the flatbread from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. Then, top with the sliced or diced avocado and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top. If you’d like, drizzle a bit more olive oil for added richness. Slice the flatbread into wedges for a fun, shareable dish.

              Garnish: Serve your spicy nacho flatbread with a generous dollop of sour cream on the side and wedges of lime for squeezing over the dish, enhancing all the flavors.
