Method

For the tortillas

Combine the flours, oil and salt in a deep bowl and knead into a soft dough using enough water.

Divide the dough into 15 equal portions and roll each portion into a 63 mm. (2 ½”) diameter rounds using a little plain flour for rolling.
Prick the tortilla rounds with a fork on both the sides.
Heat the oil in a deep kadhai and deep-fry the mini tortillas, on a slow flame, a few at a time, until crisp or golden brown in colour from all the sides.
Drain on an absorbent paper and keep aside.

For the topping

Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the onions and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes and capsicum, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Add the paneer, oregano, chilli flakes and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Divide the stuffing into 15 equal portions and keep aside.

How to proceed

Place a mini tortilla on a flat, dry surface, place a portion of the topping evenly over it.
Repeat step 1 to make 14 more mini tortillas.
Serve immediately garnished with tomato ketchup and cheese.
