Taco Flatbread

These are a lot of fun to make and your kiddos can join in on the fun to!  You can personalize them as much as you want but my husband and I love them like this!

2 Roma tomatoes, diced
2 Poblano peppers, cored, seeded, and diced
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, sliced into thin rings
1lb ground beef
2 tablespoons Southwest Seasoning (I use the Simply Organic brand), divided
4 flat breads
1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
1/2 cup Monterey Jack shredded cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
hot sauce to taste, optional

Preheat oven 450 degrees and place an aluminum foil lined baking sheet inside.  
Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over med-high heat.  Add the poblano peppers and cook 3-4 minutes, tossing until lightly charred.  Season with salt and pepper.  Remove the cooked poblano peppers from the pan and set aside.
Add another drizzle of olive oil and add the ground beef.  Season generously with salt and pepper and crumble until cooked through.  Add the charred poblano, diced tomato, and 2tsp. of the Southwest seasoning.  Remove the pan from the heat.

Now let's toast the flatbreads.  Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and place 4 flatbreads onto the baking sheet.  (If you can only fit 2, you'll have to toast them in batches or use 2 baking sheets.)  Drizzle each flatbread with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Toast them in the oven until golden brown and slightly crispy, 2-4 minutes.  Watch them closely!

Remove the flatbreads from the oven and divide the beef mixture evenly between the 4 flatbreads.  Sprinkle both cheeses over each flatbread.  Return the flatbreads to the oven and bake until the cheeses melt, about 2 minutes.  

In a small bowl stir together the sour cream, remaining Southwest Seasoning, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of water.  Season with salt and pepper and drizzle the mixture (crema!) over the flatbreads.  Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and if you want a little kick, as many jalapeño rings and hot sauce as you like.  Cut the flatbread into 4's and serve!
