Vegan Mexican Lasagna
  • olive Oil
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 6 6" tortillas
  1. Pre-heat oven to 425
  2. Heat olive oil and add onion, chili powder, cumin, sprinkling of salt, and black beans. Stir regularly on medium heat and cook until onion is fragrant and semi-translucent (about five minutes).
  3. Add corn and fire roasted tomatoes. Heat 2-3 minutes. 
  4. Coat the inside of a baking pan with cooking spray or olive oil.
  5. Add a thin layer of vegetable and spice mixture, a layer of quartered tortillas, and then a layer of cheeses (1/2 cup each). Repeat.

Recipe notes:

  • The amount of cheese listed is a bare-bones amount. It is limited so the flavor is not over-powering and to save money.
  • Daiya cheese is best served hot or very warm
  • Altered from Rachel Ray's Mexican Lasagna
