Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use ground lamb or a blend of lamb and beef instead of ground meat.
  • If caramelized onions aren’t available, sauté finely chopped onions until softened and caramelized for a similar sweetness.
  • To make ahead, prepare the spiced meat topping separately and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble the flatbreads just before serving.
