Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add diced onion, tomato paste, aleppo pepper, and cumin; stir until fragrant and onion softens, ~2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Spread beef mixture evenly over naan, leaving a thin border. Arrange on a sheet pan in a single layer.

  4. Step 4

    Broil 4 inches from heat until edges char and toppings look caramelized, 3–4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze lemon over the flatbreads. Serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need
