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.
