Ingredients

  • A tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • Half of a yellow onion, finely chopped
  • Three cloves of garlic, minced
  • Eighteen ounces of soy chorizo
  • One can of black beans, fifteen ounces
  • One can of tomato sauce, fifteen ounces
  • Three diced tomatoes
  • A can of diced jalapeno peppers, four ounces
  • A can of diced green chilies, four ounces
  • A packet of chicken taco seasoning mix
  • Half a bunch of fresh cilantro
  • Four soft wheat taco shells, eight inches each
  • A package of vegan Cheddar cheese, eight ounces

Step 1

Let's embark on a culinary adventure by starting off with a preheated oven set at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a skillet dancing over medium-high heat, let the onion and garlic mingle and sizzle until a delightful aroma fills the air, usually about a minute. Then, toss in the chorizo, black beans, a symphony of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, spicy jalapeno peppers, and lively green chiles. Allow this vibrant mix to cook and harmonize for 5 to 7 minutes until it's bubbling with flavor. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and cilantro, and when the melody is complete, gently take it off the heat.

Step 2

Now, let's assemble our culinary masterpiece! Begin by spreading a generous cup of the chorizo concoction at the base of a 9x13-inch baking pan. Lay down two tortillas like a cozy blanket. Next, layer on half of the remaining chorizo medley and sprinkle it with vegan Cheddar cheese. Repeat this delicious layering with the remaining tortillas and chorizo mixture.

Step 3

It's time to let the magic happen in the oven! Slide your creation into the preheated oven and let it bake until it's bubbling hot and the flavors have melded together beautifully, which usually takes around 30 minutes. Enjoy the symphony of flavors that await you!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your veggies fresh by storing them in the crisper drawer of your fridge. This will help maintain their crispness and flavor for your casserole.
  2. 2. For ingredients like beans and rice, store them in airtight containers to prevent moisture from getting in and causing them to spoil. This will ensure they stay fresh and delicious for your Mexican casserole.
