Preparation

1
Preheat the oven to 240°C (465°F) and place a baking sheet inside to heat up.
2
In a food processor, pulse the onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and parsley until finely minced.
3
Transfer to a bowl and mix in the ground beef, tomato paste, paprika, cumin, chili flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4
Spread the mixture thinly and evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border.
5
Carefully place the topped flatbreads on the hot baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are crisp and the meat is cooked through.
6
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and scatter with chopped parsley before serving. Roll up to eat, if desired.
