# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in under 30 minutes, which means weeknight dinners stop feeling like a chore.
  • The garlic naan gets impossibly crispy while staying pillowy underneath, creating texture that flatbreads and regular crust can't match.
  • One pan does the heavy lifting, so cleanup is actually manageable.
02 -
  • Naan can go from crispy-perfect to burnt-edged in about ninety seconds at this temperature, so set a timer and don't wander off.
  • The enchilada sauce you choose makes or breaks this—some brands are mild and sweet, others are spicy and tangy, so taste before you commit.
03 -
  • Buy pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and store-bought naan—your future self on a busy Tuesday will thank you endlessly.
  • Don't skip the lime at the end; that acidity is what makes all the flavors snap into focus instead of muddling together.
