Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Make the Black Bean Spread

    Prepare the Spread

    In a food processor, combine canned black beans, garlic powder, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Cook the Bacon

    Crisp the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Flatbreads
