This casserole is also surprisingly quick and easy and requires just 9 ingredients, friends. Let us show you how it’s done! If you’re thinking a vegan casserole couldn’t possibly have all the creamy, hearty comfort of the classic dish, think again! Shredded tofu is the satisfying, protein-packed ingredient that hides away between layers of flavor. And where do those flavors come from, you ask? Sautéed bell pepper and onion provide a naturally sweet base while green chiles add spiciness, chili powder brings the smokiness, and sea salt enhances it all. That sweet-spicy-smoky trio is hard to beat! But don’t be fooled…it gets even better! Our Cashew Jalapeño Sauce creates the creamy, cheesy comfort of a classic casserole, and tortillas add the satisfying element (team carbs!). With the components ready, it’s time to layer: sauce, tortillas, filling, and repeat! A final layer of cashew jalapeño sauce seals in all the deliciousness (and when baked, resembles melted cheese 🙌). Cue the ooo’s and ahhh’s! We hope you LOVE this vegan casserole! It’s:CreamyComfortingSatisfyingSubtly spicyQuick + easy& SO delicious! This casserole is a hearty meal on its own, but it would also pair well with our Green Cauliflower Rice (20 Minutes!), Instant Pot Black Beans (Perfect Every Time!), or Black Bean Quinoa Salad with Orange Lime Dressing.
