Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large bell pepper, diced
1 large onion, diced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
2 cups salsa
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped finely (more or less to taste)
1 bunch fresh chives, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
4 1/2 ounces black olives, sliced
10 corn tortillas
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can corn, drained
3 (16 ounce) cans refried beans
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (can use ranchero or other bean if desired)
1 (15 ounce) can enchilada sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
1/2 jalapeno pepper (finely chopped) (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a non-stick pan with a little water (1 tbsp.), sauté the pepper, garlic, and onion for about 5-10 minutes, or until softened (not too long, the onions are SO good crunchy).
  • Place mix in a medium bowl and add diced tomatoes, cilantro (alternately, the cilantro can be sprinkled in as two layers, if easier) and chives. Mix well and set aside.
  • Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Line the bottom with a layer of tortillas (cut some of them to fit, if desired). Cover most of the bottom of the pan. For reference: I use four tortillas on the bottom, three for the next layer and three for the final layer.
  • Place 1 ½ cans of the refried beans in a small bowl, stir, and spread evenly over the tortillas.
  • Cover the refried beans with half of the pepper-onion-tomato mixture.
  • Sprinkle entire dish lightly with 1/2 tsp cumin.
  • Cover with half the can of corn.
  • Cover with half the can of beans.
  • Cover with 1/2 THE SALSA, add another layer of tortillas and REPEAT above layers (steps 5-9).
  • Cover with a final layer of tortillas.
  • Sprinkle with black olives.
  • Top with the remaining 1 cup salsa.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes or until hot throughout. If allowed to cool for about 10 minutes, it will be easier to cut.

VEGAN MEXICAN LASAGNA



Vegan Mexican Lasagna image

I don't know where I really came up with this idea. It kind of popped into my head one day and it seemed way too good to resist. You can sub one of the bags of crumbles for about 2 cans of beans for a healthier twist.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 square, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 (12 ounce) packages Boca meatless ground burger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning, prepared
2 (16 ounce) jars salsa
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
1 (10 ounce) package vegan cheddar cheese, grated
1 (10 ounce) package vegan mozzarella cheese or 1 (10 ounce) package vegan mozzarella cheese, grated
1 (10 ounce) package vegan mozzarella cheese or 1 (10 ounce) package vegan mozzarella cheese, grated
4 green onions, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can black olives, sliced
1 (4 ounce) can green peppers, minced
10 corn chips, crushed
tofutti sour cream

Steps:

  • Boil a pot of water and cook the noodles. While they are cooking, heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the crumblers and cook until they begin to brown. Then, add the taco seasoning sauce to the pan and cook until the liquids are reduced. Add one jar of the salsa and the can of tomato sauce, stir, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Drain the lasagna noodles and let them cool, and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with margarine and lay 3 noodles on the bottom. Spoon a third of the sauce on the noodles and spread evenly. Sprinkle with a bit of both cheeses and some green onions. Make two more layers in the same way.
  • Lay the last 3 noodles on top, cover with the second jar of salsa, and spread evenly over the noodles. Sprinkle on the last of the cheese and green onions, followed by the black olives and green peppers. Cover with foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes or more, until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the oven, crush some corn chips in your hand, and sprinkle over the top. Place the dish back into the oven and turn on the broiler. Broil for about 5 minutes, until the chips start to brown. Remove and let stand for at least 15 minutes and serve with a side of Spanish rice and a dollop of sour cream.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to create a flavorful and colorful lasagna. Some good options include zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
  • Be sure to drain the tofu well before using it in the lasagna. This will help to prevent the lasagna from becoming watery.
  • If you are using a store-bought enchilada sauce, be sure to choose one that is mild or medium in spiciness. You can always add more spice to the lasagna if desired.
  • Be careful not to overcook the lasagna. The noodles should be al dente and the vegetables should still have a slight crunch.
  • Let the lasagna cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Vegan Mexican lasagna is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of flavorful vegetables, tofu, and enchilada sauce, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a vegan dish that is both delicious and easy to make, give this recipe a try.
