A quick and flavorful flatbread topped with smoky beef brisket, melted mozzarella, and tangy pickled jalapeños, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces smoked beef brisket, sliced
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 pieces store-bought flatbread or naan
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2–3 medium fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, a handful)
  • Thinly sliced red onion (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Pickled Jalapeños: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and the smashed garlic clove. Bring to a simmer over medium heat until sugar and salt dissolve, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add sliced jalapeños, and let them soak for at least 20 minutes. Drain before using.
  2. Prepare the Brisket: Slice the smoked brisket into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Toss it with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce to coat evenly. Warm gently if cold.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to warm up.
  4. Assemble the Flatbreads: Place flatbreads on a clean surface. Brush each lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the flatbreads.
  5. Add the BBQ Brisket: Distribute the sauced brisket pieces evenly over the cheese layer without overloading.
  6. Bake: Transfer flatbreads to the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and edges are golden and crisp.
  7. Add Pickled Jalapeños and Garnishes: Scatter drained pickled jalapeños on top. Add fresh cilantro leaves and red onion slices if using.
  8. Serve: Slice into portions and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Drain pickled jalapeños well to avoid soggy flatbread. Use warm flatbread for best texture. Watch oven closely after 7 minutes to prevent burning. Leftover brisket can be shredded and tossed with BBQ sauce before use. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free flatbread. Pickling time can be adjusted for heat and flavor preference.
