Ingredients

Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole

  • 1 can corn , drained & rinsed (15-oz)
  • 2 cans black beans (15-oz ea.)
  • 1 can enchilada sauce , green or red (28-oz)
  • ½ cup salsa your favorite
  • 3 tbsp cilantro chopped
  • drizzle of oil
  • ½ cup green onion chopped (white base, no greens)
  • 2 cups mini sweet peppers cut into strips
  • 1 can diced green chiles (4-oz)
  • 1 Tbsp taco seasoning
  • 9 large corn tortillas ~8-inch
  • 2 cups shredded cheese of choice I used a Mexican cheese blend

Optional Serving Ideas:

  • cilantro chopped
  • green onion chopped (greens)
  • sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • lime wedges

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine corn, black beans, 1 cup of enchilada sauce, ½ cup of salsa, and cilantro. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute chopped white base of green onion and sliced sweet mini peppers for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
  • Add diced chiles and taco seasoning. Continue to cook another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prep a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Add a layer of enchilada sauce to cover bottom of dish, followed by a layer of corn tortillas. (I layered in 2 whole tortillas, along with a 3rd tortilla cut in half to cover the edges.)
  • Scoop corn & bean mixture on top of tortillas, followed by veggie mixture, and a layer of cheese.
  • Repeat layers: tortillas, corn & bean mixture, veggie mixture, cheese.
  • On top, add a final layer of tortillas, remaining enchilada sauce, and cover with cheese.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Broil for a few minutes at the end to brown on top, if needed.
  • Slice into pieces and serve with cilantro, chopped green onion tops, a dollop of sour cream, lime wedges—whatever you like!

Storage & Reheating

  • To store, simply leave remaining casserole in dish, cover, and store in the fridge for 5-7 days. Reheat entire dish in the oven, or slice desired piece(s) at the time of serving and reheat to your liking.
  • If preferred, you can slice casserole into pieces and store as individual servings. Just know that your casserole will hold together best if it stays intact until serving!
