Recipe 📖
My bestie was gung-ho about Mexican food so I decided to try this cuisine out for myself. And I am so glad I did! In fact, an enchilada was the first Mexican dish I ever had! That day I discovered a cuisine that eventually went on to become one of my favorites! It’s flavors are very similar to the Indian cuisine. I now enjoy making a variety of Mexican recipes like Mexican Pani Puri, and Taco Boats! It is one of the easiest and simplest cuisines with some appetizing flavors. Take this Mexican layered taco casserole recipe with red kidney beans for example. I call it the Mexican Lasagna. The red sauce used in this enchilada is perfectly tangy and spicy, the beans are juicy and the gluten-free tortillas are moist yet crisp. All in all, a winning dish. It all gets perfectly baked together in the oven! No more rolling enchiladas again! Beans - I have used red kidney beans in this Mexican recipe. You can either use canned beans or dry ones. If using dry ones, soak them overnight and then cook them the next day. Tomatoes - Canned whole tomatoes are what I have used. You can also use fresh tomatoes. Veggies and aromatics - Bell pepper, onion, garlic and green chillies/serrano peppers or jalapenos. Cheese - I have used vegan Mexican cheese blend in this enchilada recipe. You can also add vegan Cheddar, Jack, Mozzarella, or Mexican Cotija cheeses.
This crunchy, flavorful and cheesy vegan enchilada casserole is perfect for parties, weeknight dinners and even meal prep for the week. You can also serve some Cucumber Salad on the side. This vegan enchilada casserole can also be served as an entrée for Thanksgiving, Christmas, parties, festive occasions, potlucks, Diwali, date nights, brunches, etc. If you don’t have one big baking dish, you can make it in mini casseroles. The measurements that I have provided should yield 2 batches (each with 12 tortillas). If you can fit all the 24 tortillas in one big tray then use all of the sauce, chopped veggies and cheese.
