Open Faced Burrito



I made these the other night (modeled after the Mondo Burrito from The Grit Cookbook) and it's quickly become my kid's favorite meal.

  • giant whole wheat tortilla
  • rice
  • vegetarian chili
  • cabbage, chopped
  • carrots, shredded
  • red onions
  • cheese
  • sour cream
  • salsa

  1. Toast the tortilla and place the tortilla on an oven-safe plate.
  2. Then start with a generous bed of rice and top with chili. We've used a vegetarian recipe from The Grit Cookbook for this as well as Tasty Bite Madras Lentils or Dal Makhani for this.
  3. Then layer on the cabbage, carrots, red onions and cheese in amounts to your liking.
  4. Place the plate in the oven and broil just until the cheese melts. I like to use the toaster oven for this.
  5. When it comes out, garnish with salsa and sour cream if desired.
