Mexican chaat, is a fusion chaat recipe, similar to the popular Indian chaat Bhel puri. Yesterday when Varsha was telling about some Cooking without fire competition in school, i gave her this idea. Today morning i sent all the ingredients to her for the competition and kept one more portion for my post too. As most of the kids like Doritos |nachos, this chaat will be a sure winner among kids. I have given few variations for this recipe in the notes section. Scroll down to see it. This chaat recipe is a perfect one for parties, you can keep everything ready and just mix everything at the time of serving.

Notes:
- No need to add salt, as chutneys, chaat masala and Doritos has salt in it.
- Instead of the Indian style chutney you can add tomato ketchup and chilli sauce.
- Doritos can be replaced with potato chips too.
- Even you can make with Thattai or murukku too.
- You can skip chaat masala and cumin powder and add chili flakes and oregano powder.
- You can use black bean too instead of red kidney beans.
- Thinly sliced jalapenos can be added.
- A dollop of sour cream or thick yogurt can be used for garnishing instead of sev.
- You can add few pomegranate too.
