Vegetarian Mexican Sandwich

I invented this recipe about a week ago. As a vegetarian, I sometimes eat the same thing for quite a few days in a row. I get in food ruts. I was trying to use the last of these pinto beans and this idea came to me instead of the typical nachos or burrito. I'm kind of obsessed with this recipe now, it's soooo good and different from my usuals!

What I used:

• pinto beans
• cheddar cheese
• tomato
• spinach
• white onion
• whole grain roll
• Taco Bell's mild sauce 
• whole grain tortilla chips
• sour cream
• guacamole - shortcut recipe

All of these things are optional... it's just what I had on hand & taste preference. You can pretty much add whatever taco toppings you usually add. 

Since I had the leftover pinto beans in the refrigerator, I microwaved those with some cheddar cheese for a minute on high. I spread this mixture onto the roll and topped it with tomatoes, onions and spinach. 

I used my handy dandy sandwich maker to toast the entire sandwich.

I added 3 Taco Bell sauce packets afterwards, just so it wouldn't drip onto the sandwich maker & make a mess. I also added some tortilla chips because I like a little crunch on my sandwich. 

I finished it off with a side of guacamole & sour cream for dipping. 

Bon appetit!
