Crispy wheat flatbread with corn and mild chili baked beans

A rustic wheat flatbread topped with pan-charred corn, spiced baked beans, and fresh herbs, crossing a homemade taco with a hearty warm open-faced sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 70 g wheat flour
  • 45 ml environ warm water
  • 1 pinch fine salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or neutral oil
  • 90 g corn kernels
  • 140 g baked beans
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tours de moulin black pepper
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 c. à soupe ciselée fresh parsley or cilantro
  • 1 tbsp plain yogurt or crème fraîche

Method

  1. Mix the wheat flour, salt, and warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead for 1 minute, shape into a ball, cover, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Roll out the dough into a thin 18 to 20 cm flatbread. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with half of the oil, then cook the flatbread for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and slightly blistered. Keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and the corn. Let it char for 3 to 4 minutes without stirring too much to develop sweet and toasted notes.
  4. Stir in the baked beans, chili powder, smoked paprika, and pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes over medium heat, until the sauce thickens and nicely coats the corn kernels.
  5. Taste and adjust: a pinch of salt if necessary, or a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.
  6. Place the flatbread on a plate. Spread the piping hot corn and baked bean mixture over the top.
  7. Finish with the lime juice, fresh herbs, and, if desired, a dollop of plain yogurt for a cool and creamy contrast.
