Papad Tostadas

Thank you everyone for the great response to my previous recipe for Strawberry fool..I guess the picture and the easy steps did the trick..plus dessert is a universal favourite. I need to start experimenting more with desserts which only means I'll have happier neighbours who get the samplings :))
So this recipe is indo-mex :) papad meets refried beans ..tostada is basically a fried tortilla (mexican chappati made of corn /wheat flour) topped with all kinds of toppings - beans,corn,salsa,shrimp even.I had some left over baked beans and no bread at home so thought of this..you can add more garnishing with sour cream/salsa/lettuce/chopped tomatoes/olives...as you please or as your fridge is stocked !

Ingredients

8 mini papads, roasted or shallow fried
1 cup baked beans (or boiled rajma)
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 green chilli,finely chopped
1 tablespoon mexican seasoning powder (easily available in super markets)
salt to taste
1 teaspoon ketchup
grated cheese,to garnish
any other suggested garnishing

1. Heat the oil. Fry the chilli and onion till soft.
2. Stir in the beans,salt,ketchup and seasoning powder.
3. Turn off gas. Cool
4. Just before serving (papads get soggy really quickly ), place some topping on the papad, garnish with grated cheese and other garnishing.
5. Serve with sour cream or salsa ..optional..tastes good as it is !
