    Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole. It is raining today, which in Southern California, means that we stay home.  When I stay home, I like to take the opportunity like many of you, to make something warm, and cozy and comforting. 

    I want a recipe that is easy to toss together, has a significant amount of nutrition, and will be something that I can turn to in the future.  I don't usually think in terms of one time preparation--I want a recipe for my collection of favorites, and I strive to create a favorite.

    Today, it is Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole. If you follow this blog, you know that in my opinion, it is better for long term health if you have vegetarian meals as often as you can.   I recommend that you have a list of quick, easy, one dish vegetarian meals, so that it is easy and convenient to chose a healthy option for your meals.   

    If you are interested in learning more about a vegetarian diet, check out the Mayo Clinic information.  For this dish, we are using  tortillas, beans, mushrooms, corn, spinach, green chiles, onions, cheese and hot/enchilada sauce, and it will be ready in 30 minutes.

    Preparation

    One dish cooking is the best.  I start with a 9x13 glass dish, that I have oiled to keep tortillas from sticking.  Next, I toss the beans, spices, all the vegetables, and ½ of the cheese in a bowl and mix.

    Next, place tortillas on bottom of glass dish, and cover with hot sauce (or enchilada sauce).  Pour vegetable mix on top of the tortillas.  Top with remaining tortillas, spread with hot sauce (or enchilada sauce) , and sprinkle remaining cheese.

    Preheat oven to 350.  Cover in foil, and bake for 30 minutes.  The result--creamy, gooey, cheesy, packed with vitamins and protein one dish cooking.  I think it will be one of your favorites for all of those reasons.

    Options For Serving Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole

    • I have prepared this dish with Beyond Beef, and it was delicious, so that is an option if you want a meatier flavor and texture.
    • I serve this casserole with a salad, or if you are really into carbs, some homemade garlic bread.
    • If you are cooking diary free, use vegan cheese for this recipe.
    • If you are cooking gluten free, use corn tortillas.  I have also used, quinoa tortillas that I found at Trader Joe's, and they were great.
    • This recipe can be frozen for future enjoyment.

    Notes

    If you are eating gluten free, use corn tortillas.  If not, any tortillas will work.
    I like to use enchilada sauce from Trader Joe's in this recipe, but you can use any enchilada sauce or hot sauce that you prefer.
    I have tried this recipe with Beyond Beef, and it was also delicious.
