Ingredients
  

2 large flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (preferably rotisserie)

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 small red bell pepper, diced

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)

2 tablespoons taco seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, taco seasoning, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss until well mixed.

      Prepare the Flatbread: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the flatbreads. Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil.

        Layer the Toppings: Evenly distribute the chicken mixture over the flatbreads, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with slices of red onion, followed by a generous scattering of cheddar and pepper jack cheese.

          Bake the Pizza: Place the flatbreads in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbreads are golden brown.

            Add Fresh Toppings: Once removed from the oven, let the pizzas cool for about 2 minutes. Top with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and dollops of sour cream.

              Slice and Serve: Cut the flatbread pizzas into slices and serve immediately while hot for the best experience.
