    How to make Chipotle Chicken Flatbread Pizzas with Avocado Sour Cream:

    • I actually love to make my own pizza dough, but sometimes the chef needs a little help so I start with store-bought naan flatbread.  It's something we always have on hand for a quick pizza.

    • Make a quick red chile sauce with onion, Poblano peppers, canned tomato sauce and chipotle chiles in adobo then puree with an immersion blender.  If you don't own an immersion blender, it is the best thing ever!  (Affiliate link below.)
    • Top the flatbread with the sauce and some of the cheese.
    • Toss the chicken with some of the sauce.  These flatbread pizzas are a great way to use leftover chicken, however, rotisserie chicken works well, too!
    • Top with cooked sweet potatoes.  If you don't have cooked sweet potatoes on hand, peel and cube a large sweet potato and cook it in salted water while the sauce simmers.
    • Add the black beans.  And of course, more cheese!

    One more indispensable thing in the kitchen is a pizza stone!  Ours is well-loved, can you tell?

    The Avocado Sour Cream is the perfect finishing touch.  (And yes, I seriously need to practice my drizzling technique.)

    • 2 medium Poblano peppers - seeded and chopped
    • 4 cloves garlic - chopped
    • 1 can (28-ounce) tomato sauce

    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
    • 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper - to taste

    Pizzas

    • Cornmeal - for pizza stone
    • 4 naan flatbreads - white or whole wheat
    • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
    • 1 large sweet potato - cut into ½-inch cubes and cooked
    • 1 can (15-ounce) black beans - drained and rinsed
    • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

    Avocado Sour Cream

    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1 large avocado - pitted and peeled
    • ½ large lime - juiced

    Instructions
     

    Sauce

    • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and Poblano pepper, reduce heat to medium and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until very soft. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds or until fragrant.

    Pizzas

    • Sprinkle even amounts of the cheese on the sauce, reserving some for on top. Follow with chicken, sweet potato and black beans. Top with remaining cheese.
    • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through and edges of flatbread are beginning to brown.
    • Garnish with cilantro and serve with Avocado Sour Cream.
