Vegetarian Tortas

Well, I don't know if this would be under $5 bucks if there are two of you, but if there is only one then most definitely yes!!
Vegetarian Tortas:
-bolillos (ours come from Grateful Bread, but you can find them at your nearest Mexican market or panaderia)
-aguacate (avocado)
-your favorite melting cheese; Gram used pepper jack cheese
-refried beans
-lettuce or greens
-roasted green chiles HOT!

You can cut the bolillo in half and toast it. Gram melted the cheese on the top half of the bolillo, then he spread the refried beans on the other half. ~Before adding the avocado we both love to soak it in lime and add some salt to it then it was added to the torta, followed by the lettuce or your favorite greens and roasted hot green chiles. Then you have a vegetarian torta ready to eat!!
Of course at most Mexican restaurants they add chicken or carne asada or even eggs for a breakfast torta (very much like a burrito). Mexicans are also known for using mayo on their sandwiches but most people are not down with mayo so... You can pretty much come up with your own torta. Just make sure to use a bolillo because it really is the best bread for a torta- if you go to a panaderia make sure to ask where the fresh baked goods are placed. They are usually near the kitchen or oven not in the cases yet.
