Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large bell pepper, diced
1 large onion, diced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
2 cups salsa
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped finely (more or less to taste)
1 bunch fresh chives, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
4 1/2 ounces black olives, sliced
10 corn tortillas
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can corn, drained
3 (16 ounce) cans refried beans
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (can use ranchero or other bean if desired)
1 (15 ounce) can enchilada sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
1/2 jalapeno pepper (finely chopped) (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a non-stick pan with a little water (1 tbsp.), sauté the pepper, garlic, and onion for about 5-10 minutes, or until softened (not too long, the onions are SO good crunchy).
  • Place mix in a medium bowl and add diced tomatoes, cilantro (alternately, the cilantro can be sprinkled in as two layers, if easier) and chives. Mix well and set aside.
  • Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Line the bottom with a layer of tortillas (cut some of them to fit, if desired). Cover most of the bottom of the pan. For reference: I use four tortillas on the bottom, three for the next layer and three for the final layer.
  • Place 1 ½ cans of the refried beans in a small bowl, stir, and spread evenly over the tortillas.
  • Cover the refried beans with half of the pepper-onion-tomato mixture.
  • Sprinkle entire dish lightly with 1/2 tsp cumin.
  • Cover with half the can of corn.
  • Cover with half the can of beans.
  • Cover with 1/2 THE SALSA, add another layer of tortillas and REPEAT above layers (steps 5-9).
  • Cover with a final layer of tortillas.
  • Sprinkle with black olives.
  • Top with the remaining 1 cup salsa.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes or until hot throughout. If allowed to cool for about 10 minutes, it will be easier to cut.

15 ounces kidney beans, canned (drained and rinsed)
15 ounces black beans, canned (drained and rinsed )
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels

  • Place the water in a large pan with the onion, green pepper, and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, corn, rice, tomato sauce, chilies, chili powder, and cumin. Stir to mix, then cook over low heat until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350º. Pour about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish and spread evenly over the bottom. Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce into a bowl. Dip 4 of the tortillas, one at a time, into the enchilada sauce, then layer them in the bottom of the casserole dish.
  • Spread half of the bean mixture over the tortillas. Repeat with the next 4 tortillas and the remaining mixture. Finish with the last 4 tortillas. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and spread evenly. Sprinkle with the chopped green onion.
  • Cover and bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve with salsa to spoon over the top, if desired.
  • Serving Size : 8.

VEGAN MEXICAN CASSEROLE



Vegan Mexican Casserole image

This is a Mexican casserole recipe from my mother that I translated to vegan. I love this recipe and so does my non-vegan wife. (I add real cheese to her portion and top it with real sour cream.) It is easy to change and transform to make it your own. Enjoy!
