Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté onions until soft. Add bell peppers, zucchini/mushrooms, and corn and cook until slightly tender but still crisp.
- 2

Spread mashed avocado or layer avocado slices over the base.

Think of the flatbread as the base, not the whole meal: load it with vegetables and a clear protein source, then finish with avocado, seeds or a yogurt-style topping for healthy fats.
