2 Tbsp Tomato Puree(i used Godrej)

1 Tsp Chilly powder

Processed Cheese use according to your requirement.

Method:

Mix all the dry ingredients for making the tortillas with enough water to form a dough.
Roll the dough in to a shape of roti, but little thicker in size. Just cook two sides lightly..
Place all the tortilla in a plate and cover it with a kitchen napkin. This will make your tortillas soft.
Marinate the paneer with taco seasoning, chilly powder and salt. Stir fry after sometime and keep it aside.
Cook your rice, and drain the water from it.
Take little oil in a vessel. Put the tomato puree, chilly powder, and taco seasoning and salt.
Mix the rice in this gravy, and keep that aside too.
Warm the tortilla in a microwave for few seconds.
Assemble the tortilla with all the salad ingredients, rice, paneer and cheese, salsa and sour cream.
Fold the tortilla in half and serve with salsa on side.

Note:

Grilled chicken can be used instead of paneer
Baked Beans can also be one of the filling in this, but it will be little sweet in taste.
Kidney beans can be soaked and then boiled and can be mixed in this.
If sour cream not available.. Tie yogurt in a muslin cloth and let stand for few hours till the water drains out. Mix little fresh cream and salt and use as sour cream
If Taco seasoning not available use our Chat masala.. Though the taste might be different. It taste good too...
Do not cook this assembled taco on a fry pan with oil, like frankie...
The tortilla recipe can be used to make thin tortilla for burrito and Quasedillas.
This Tortilla can be stored in the refrigerator for 10 days. Do not leave it open in the refrigerator. Put it in a zipper bag or some container.. Do not fold it and store..
