California Grilled Veggie Sandwich image

Original recipe by Heather Johnson. Heather says, "I came up with this recipe to entertain friends. Since I am a semi-vegetarian and love to BBQ, I am always inventing something new. The first time I made this, my meat-lover friends raved about this dish! I prefer mesquite coals over gas barbecue...however, either works fine."
