The roasted vegetable torta at Rosalita’s Cantina is proof positive that going veg does not mean going hungry. Piled inside a big ‘ol artisan roll is a messy mélange of veggies – zucchini, broccoli, jalapenos, onions, tomatoes – plus avocado, refried beans and queso fresco. A creamy, jalapeno mayo with just a hint of heat pulls it all together. It’s hot, filling goodness on a cold winter’s day. Gracias, Rosalita.
