Argentine Black Bean Flatbread With Chimichurri Drizzle


I got this via a chef who linked cooking light. i'm using her recipe #38560 for teh chimichurri instead of this one. i usu. Knead my dough in my bosch mixer, but it didn't work this time. so i did it by hand. i found a trick: kneaded it in my seasoned stoneware bar pan and it didn't stick at all, without flour. you won't use all of the black bean spread, so save for a dip with baked tortilla chips, a topping for a taco salad, or as a taco or burrito filler.
