Description

Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole is a delicious Mexican-inspired dish made with layers of corn tortillas, black beans, veggies, and enchilada sauce, topped with gooey cheese. This easy, meatless casserole is perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep, delivering bold flavors and satisfying textures in every bite.


Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom.
  • Layer 4 tortillas over the sauce, followed by half of the bean and vegetable mixture, 1 cup of cheese, and more enchilada sauce.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas, veggie mixture, cheese, and enchilada sauce.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Garnish with your favorite toppings and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can add sautéed spinach or zucchini for extra veggies.
  • Use gluten-free corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
  • Make it vegan by using plant-based cheese and enchilada sauce.
