I was searching for a quick and simple dinner for the man and me. I had extra pizza dough that I usually use to make flatbreads. Adding vegetables to a meat mixture and experimenting with flavors is easy! If you prefer a hotter kick, feel free to add your favorite hot sauce. For the dinner to be complete, serve with a side salad. You can substitute items as you choose; try substituting beef with turkey or chicken, or try a variety of cheeses. Enjoy by rolling up flatbread like a taco!

- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add yellow onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 10 minutes.

- Fry each piece of dough in the hot oil until golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cooked flatbread to a paper towel-lined plate.
