Mexican Veggie Tortilla Towers

Are you tired of burritos yet can’t get over your love for Mexican food? Mexican veggie tortilla tower is worth a shot! This burrito with a twist calls for the same classic ingredients served in a whole new way. The stacked-up tortillas, separated by delicious toppings like veggies, beans and salsa make a great visual treat. The gooey, melted cheese on top adds to its wonder and turns the ensemble into a visual treat. It’s particularly loved by my kids and hence a great way to make them eat vegetables. However, this unique serving style will charm the adults too!
