Notes
Health Tip – To save on calories, use ½ slice of cheese instead of the whole slice. Just break the cheese into small pieces and spread it out on the toast.
Tastes best when served hot and crisp, otherwise it will get soggy.
For a kid’s version, just omit the green chilies and salsa.
For non-vegetarians, you could substitute regular baked beans.
