Meat flatbreads (or pizzas) versus veggie flatbreads (or pizzas) is like an adult version of a certain children's book about butter bread battles, with combatants on both sides assured that their way of topping their bread-y dinner is right. We're dedicated to not taking sides… on the other hand, this flatbread with sweet joyful morsels of sweet potato, caramelized red onion, and tangy BBQ sauce makes a solid case that you don't need meat to eat magnificently. With bellies full of such delightfulness, you'll be too stuffed and happy to fight. (Butter side up!)

Meatlovers! If adding protein, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook with 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. If using Impossible burger, break up burger until heated through, 4-6 minutes. If using diced chicken, pat dry and stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using shrimp, pat dry and cook undisturbed until seared on one side, 2-3 minutes. Flip, and cook until shrimp reaches minimum internal temperature, 1-2 minutes. If using flank steak, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Stir occasionally until no pink remains and steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Add proteins to flatbread as desired.
