Why This Recipe Is A Must Try

This dish combines smoky, spicy pork with soft, warm naan, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures. It’s quick to prepare and great for a satisfying meal any day of the week. The bold chipotle adds a unique kick that makes every bite exciting.

Step 1

Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s warming up, mix the mayonnaise with the diced chipotle pepper in a small bowl until it’s well combined and creamy.

Step 2

Lay the pork cutlets on one baking sheet and the naan bread on another. Sprinkle a little water over the naan to keep it from drying out. Pop both trays in the oven. After about 5 minutes, take out the pork and top each cutlet with a slice of cheese. Put them back in for another 5 minutes or so, until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.

Step 3

At the same time, warm the naan for around 5 minutes, just until it softens nicely. Once everything’s out of the oven, spread a good amount of the chipotle mayo over each naan. Place a cheesy pork cutlet on top, then pile on shredded lettuce and green onions. Fold the sides of the naan over the filling, and you’re ready to enjoy!
