01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

08 - Drizzle spicy sauce over the top. Slice and serve immediately while warm.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The spicy drizzle feels like a personal chef’s secret on your dinner table.
- It’s a crowd-pleaser that looks impressive but comes together quickly on busy nights.
02 -
- Rushing the rice (using it hot) can make your base uneven and too moist.
- Let the flatbread cool for 2 minutes before adding the avocado so it doesn’t wilt into mush.
03 -
- Layer rice then toppings on the flatbread for maximum hold—learned from pizza fails with sliding cheese.
- Use a sharp knife for those clean slices, otherwise warm cheese can drag and make a mess.
