Step 1
MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS:
Combine flour, 2 Tbs. cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the milk and oil; stir until the dough clings together to form a ball. Turn onto lightly floured surface; knead 5 times. Roll dough between sheets of waxed paper to a 12-inch round. Turn under edge of dough and pinch to form a standing rim. Prick bottom several times with a fork. Sprinkle the 1 Tbs. of cornmeal over the top. Cook on High for 5 - 6 minutes (until it isn't doughy). Top with the can of refried beans followed by the cooked hamburger mixture. (Cook hamburger on High for 5-6 minutes then add the onion, taco seasoning and water and simmer all four ingredients for 3 - 4 minutes.) Top the hamburger mixture with the cheddar cheese. When the dough, hamburger mixture and cheese is all together, microwave the whole tostada for 3 - 4 minutes.
