Flake the mackerel into large chunks in a bowl. Pour over the lemon zest and juice. Stir in the soft cheese and herbs; mix gently to combine. Season well with black pepper.
Set a griddle pan over a medium-high heat on the hob. Griddle the flatbreads for 2 mins each side; you can use a pan lid to weigh them down to toast better.
To serve, slice the bread into triangles and serve on a platter with the pâté and beetroot. Garnish with herbs and add sliced jalapeño peppers to serve, if you like.

Make ahead: Prep the pâté up to a day before and keep in the fridge in an airtight container.
