Cuban Flatbreads Recipe

Introduction

Cuban Flatbreads offer a delicious twist on the classic Cuban sandwich, combining savory pulled pork, ham, and Swiss cheese on soft naan bread. This easy recipe is perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner with bold, satisfying flavors.

Two small pizzas rest on a black round baking tray against a white marbled texture background. Each pizza has a golden-brown thin crust base with a layer of melted white cheese covering the top. Scattered on the cheese are pieces of pink ham, browned and crispy pulled pork, and small cubes of light green pickles that add texture and color contrast. The toppings sit evenly across the surface, mixing with the creamy cheese that folds softly over the edges. The cheese glistens slightly under the light, showing areas where it has browned a bit.

Ingredients

  • 1 package Stonefire Naan Flatbreads (2 come in a package)
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 3 tablespoons mustard
  • 1 cup cooked, pulled pork (leftovers or frozen section)
  • 1/2 cup diced deli ham
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced pickles

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Spread the mayo evenly over each naan flatbread, then drizzle the mustard on top.
  2. Step 2: Layer half of the pulled pork and diced ham on each flatbread, then add 4 slices of Swiss cheese per flatbread. Top with the remaining pulled pork, ham, and diced pickles.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your oven or Traeger grill/smoker to 375°F (190°C). Cook the flatbreads for 12 to 15 minutes until cheese melts and edges are slightly crisp.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat, slice, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

  • Use spicy mustard if you prefer a little extra kick in your Cuban flatbreads.
  • Swap Swiss cheese for provolone or mozzarella for a different cheese flavor.
  • Try adding a layer of thinly sliced pickled jalapeños for added heat and tang.
  • If you don’t have pulled pork, shredded rotisserie chicken works well as a substitute.

Storage

Store leftover Cuban flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to maintain crispness and melt the cheese. Avoid microwaving to keep the naan bread from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

The first layer is melted white cheese, smooth and creamy, covering the crust fully. Scattered on top are small pieces of pink ham with a soft texture, dark brown crispy pulled pork, and small cubes of pale white onions mixed with light green pickles. The toppings are spread evenly over each pizza, giving a mix of colors—pink, dark brown, white, and green—on top of the shiny melted cheese. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these flatbreads ahead of time?

You can assemble the flatbreads in advance and store them covered in the refrigerator for a few hours, but it’s best to bake them just before serving to keep the bread fresh and the cheese melted.

What can I use if I don’t have naan bread?

You can substitute pita bread, flatbreads, or even large flour tortillas, though the texture and flavor will vary slightly from the original naan-based recipe.

Notes

  • If you don’t have pulled pork on hand, slow-cooked or rotisserie pork can also be used.
  • The toasted naan provides a crispy but soft base; avoid sogginess by serving immediately.
  • You can substitute deli ham with other cooked ham varieties according to preference.
  • Use dill pickles for authentic tartness, or sweet pickles if you prefer a milder tang.
  • For a smokier flavor, the Traeger grill option adds a nice touch but is optional.
