Yes, you read that right, this vegetarian chili can be made in just 10 minutes thanks to using your microwave. After microwaving the canned chili to warm it through, which should take just about 5 minutes, simply pour it into hollowed-out mixed grain bread rolls for a fun and creative presentation. Then top the chili off with Mexican-style shredded cheese, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro for the finishing touches, providing lots of flavor, color, and texture. You can also add some crunch to your meal by serving the chili with a stack of celery and carrot sticks alongside for dipping.
