Why This Meal Is A Winner

Full of bold flavors and hearty ingredients without any meat. It’s a great way to enjoy a comforting meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious. Perfect for those looking to eat more plant-based meals without sacrificing taste.

Tips From The Kitchen

- Use a mix of beans for extra texture and protein.
- Don’t overcook the vegetables; they should stay slightly crisp to add contrast.
- Add fresh lime juice at the end to brighten the flavors.

Step 1

Lightly heat your oven to 350°F. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the onion and garlic until they smell amazing, about a minute. Then add the chorizo, black beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, and green chiles. Let everything cook together until it’s bubbling nicely, around 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning and cilantro, then take the pan off the heat.

Step 2

Spread about a cup of the chorizo mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer two tortillas over that, then spoon half of the remaining chorizo mixture on top. Sprinkle a good handful of vegan cheddar cheese over everything. Add the rest of the tortillas and top with the rest of the chorizo mixture.

Step 3

Pop the casserole into the oven and bake until it’s hot and bubbly, which should take about 30 minutes. Let it cool a bit before serving, then dig in!

Serving Combinations

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or guacamole on top. It pairs well with a simple green salad or some crunchy tortilla chips for added texture. A side of Mexican rice or corn on the cob would also make a complete meal.

Food Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until hot. This casserole also freezes well; just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
