Vegetarian Mexican Casserole image

This vegetarian Mexican casserole is sure to be loved by everyone at the dinner table. With just enough zing from the tomatillos, a little heat from the spices, and tasty crunch from the tortilla chips, we suspect there may not be any leftovers. Feel free to mix in a handful of chopped chicken or cooked ground beef for a little extra protein.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some leftover brown rice and it worked perfectly.

I'm not a fan of black beans, so I substituted pinto beans. The casserole was still really good.

I had to make a few substitutions because I didn't have all of the ingredients, but the casserole still turned out great. I'm sure it would be even better if I had used all of the correct ingredients.
