TIJUANA TORTA

Tijuana Torta image

A Mexican-style torta is just like a burrito, except the "wrapper" is a hollowed-out roll instead of a tortilla Totally vegetarian. Here it's filled with mashed spiced black beans, a quick guacamole and melted Monterey Jack on the bean side of the sandwich. Serve with grilled corn on the cob or Spanish rice.
