Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 cup roasted Hatch green chilies, chopped (fresh or canned)

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: sour cream or additional Greek yogurt for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven now to ensure it's thoroughly heated.

    Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until well mixed. Gradually add the Greek yogurt to the bowl, stirring continuously until a cohesive dough begins to form.

      Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until it feels smooth and elastic. If your dough is excessively sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed to achieve the right consistency.

        Add Chilies and Cheese: Once the dough is ready, gently fold in the chopped Hatch green chilies and the shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Mix carefully until both are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

          Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion out into a shape about 1/4-inch thick—ovals or circles are both great options!

            Prepare for Baking: If you're using a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Carefully transfer each rolled flatbread onto the baking sheet or directly onto your preheated pizza stone.

              Brush with Olive Oil: Take a small amount of olive oil and lightly brush the tops of each flatbread. This step will contribute to a crispy texture and enhance the flavor of the flatbreads.

                Bake: Place the flatbreads in your hot oven and bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes. You'll know they're ready when the edges turn golden brown and the cheese is bubbling enticingly.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once baked, take the flatbreads out of the oven and allow them to cool slightly for about a minute. Sprinkle the fresh chopped cilantro or parsley over the top. Slice into wedges for easy serving.

                    Enjoy: Serve your Spicy Hatch Chili Flatbread warm, accompanied by a side of sour cream or extra Greek yogurt for dipping, and savor this delightful dish as either an appetizer or a main course!
