Ingredients
- 12 Corn tortillas
- 2 15-oz cans Canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 2 28-oz cans Enchilada sauce
- 2 cups Dairy-free cheddar-style cheese shreds
- 1/2 medium Red onion, diced
- 1/2 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 190°C.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the 2 15-oz cans of black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup of frozen corn, 1/2 medium red onion (diced), and 1/2 medium green bell pepper (diced).
- 3Lightly grease an approximately 23 × 33 cm baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 4Spread a thin layer of the 2 28-oz cans of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- 5Arrange 4 corn tortillas in a single layer over the sauce, overlapping them slightly as needed to cover the bottom.
- 6Spread half of the black bean and corn mixture evenly over the tortillas. Drizzle about one-third of the remaining enchilada sauce over this mixture, and sprinkle with 1 cup of the dairy-free cheddar-style cheese shreds.
- 7Repeat the layering process: place another 4 corn tortillas over the cheese, spread the remaining black bean and corn mixture on top, drizzle with another third of the enchilada sauce, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of dairy-free cheddar-style cheese shreds. Top with the final 4 corn tortillas and the rest of the enchilada sauce.
- 8Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the dairy-free cheese is melted and bubbly. You should see the sauce gently bubbling around the edges.
- 9Let the enchilada casserole stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. This allows the layers to set, making it easier to serve. Garnish with 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro before serving.
