This pizza-style recipe came from my friend Ruby's mom, who is a crazy-good cook. I added my own flair and tweaked it by using flour tortillas instead of making a dough. —Tamar Yacoubian, Ketchum, Idaho

Test Kitchen tips

Also known as Armenian or Turkish pizza, this dish is eaten throughout the Middle East, especially in Armenia, Lebanon, Turkey and Syria.

If you prefer less spice, leave the jalapeno out.

Ground sumac is becoming more common on grocery store shelves and is a spice you should get to know. It's extremely versatile, with a tart, lemony flavor that's milder than straight lemon juice.

If you can't find sumac in your market, use lemon zest or lemon pepper instead.

If you want more toppings on this Armenian-style pizza, sprinkle them over the meat mixture, then fold the lehmejun in half to eat. It's great with tomatoes, peppers, onions and roasted eggplant.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
