Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Two 15-ounce cans beans, rinsed and drained (I use black and kidney beans)
2 cups roasted diced butternut squash (or frozen cooked butternut squash, thawed)
1 can diced tomatoes with their juices
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped (about 3 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Eight 8-inch whole-wheat tortillas (or corn tortillas, if gluten-free)
1 cup vegan shredded cheese or Cashew Cheese Sauce (recipe follows)
Chopped cilantro, for serving
Vegan sour cream, for serving
1/2 cup raw cashews
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and cumin and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans, squash, tomatoes and their juices, tomato paste and kale; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Set the vegetable filling aside.
  • In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, layer 2 of the tortillas, 1/4 of the vegetable filling and 1/4 cup of the vegan cheese or cashew cheese sauce. Repeat the layers 3 times, ending with the cheese or cheese sauce.
  • Bake uncovered until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is hot all the way through, about 20 minutes. Serve with cilantro and vegan sour cream.
  • Soak the cashews in a bowl with cold water for 8 to 12 hours. (Alternatively, "flash soak" them in a heatproof bowl with boiling water for 10 minutes.) Drain then transfer to a food processor or high-powered blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

This casserole is a great make-ahead meal. I like to make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for lunch or dinner.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover tortillas. I always have a few extra tortillas on hand and this is a great way to use them up.

This casserole was a delightful fusion of flavors and textures! The crispy tortilla layers added a nice contrast to the creamy filling, and the roasted vegetables were packed with flavor. I especially loved the smoky chipotle flavor in the sauce.
