  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoons adobo sauce, from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (optional)
  • Flatbreads
  • 4 flatbreads (homemade or your favorite store-bought brand)
  • 4 jalapenos
  • 1-2 cups mexican-blend shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup red onion, minced
  • 2 mangoes, diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1-2 avocados, diced
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • Chipotle Sauce

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients except chicken into a small bowl, dish or large resealable plastic bag; mix well. Add chicken and marinate for at least two hours and up to four.

  2. Grill chicken over medium heat until well-browned on both sides and cooked completely through. Slice thinly or chop chicken (however you prefer it) and set aside.

  3. Preheat oven to 400F.

  4. Place jalapenos on baking sheet, drizzle lightly with oil. Roast for 10-15 minutes or until beginning to blister and blacken. Remove from oven and let cool. Remove stems and dice. Set aside.

  5. Reduce oven temperature to 375F.

  6. Place flatbreads on large baking sheet (you may have to bake one at a time depending on size). Dividing evenly between flatbreads, top with cheese, chicken, roasted jalapenos, red onion, mango and tomatoes. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until flatbreads are turning golden brown and cheese is melted through. Remove from oven and top with avocado, cilantro and chipotle sauce.

  7. Cut into squares and serve immediately.
