BEAN AND PAPPER TORTILLA PIZZA

A quick pizza that is prepared without using an oven.
Tortillas or chapatis topped with beans, tomatoes, capsicum and cheese. The trick here is to keep the flame sufficiently low while cooking the pizza so that the chapatis or tortillas get crisp and brown but do not burn.
A great idea to use left-over chapatis.

Cooking Time : 8 mins.
Preparation Time : 6 mins.
Makes 8 pizzas.

Ingredients

4 left-over chapatis or tortillas

To be mixed into a topping

3/4 cup baked beans (canned)
1/2 capsicum, chopped
2 green chillies, finely chopped
1/4 cup tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes
salt to taste

Other ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil or oil
1/2 cup cooking cheese or mozzarella cheese, grrated

Method

1. Heat a non-stick pan, add a little olive oil and place one chapati on it.
2. Spoon ¼ of the topping mixture on top of the chapati and sprinkle with some grated cheese.
3. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on a very slow flame till the chapati is crisp and the cheese has melted.
4. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more pizzas.
5. Serve hot.
