Instructions
. Preheat the Oven
- Arrange the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Lightly dust two baking sheets with flour to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Dough
- Divide the dough into two equal balls.
- On a floured surface, stretch or roll each ball into a 12″x6″ rectangle.
- Place the dough on the prepared baking sheets.
3. Make the Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, and salt.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce for drizzling after baking.
4. Assemble the Flatbreads
- Spread the remaining sauce evenly over the dough.
- Top with corn kernels, shredded mozzarella, crumbled cotija cheese, and a sprinkle of chili powder.
5. Bake the Flatbreads
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through.
- The flatbreads are ready when the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust is golden.
6. Add Final Touches
- Drizzle the reserved sauce over the baked flatbreads.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and additional cotija cheese if desired.
- Serve with lime wedges for an extra zing.
Notes
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor, but frozen or canned corn works in a pinch.
- For a smokier flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the sauce.
