Any ideas or recipes for a vegan Mexican lasagna?

I found one online, fat free vegan or something like that, but I don't really think it looks that great. If someone just has any ideas they'd like to share, that'd be helpful.





Oh, also, I'm not a fan of vegan cheese.Any ideas or recipes for a vegan Mexican lasagna?

There you go. Take your pick :)Any ideas or recipes for a vegan Mexican lasagna?
Mexican Lasagna (or Enchilada Casserole)








1/2 large green bell pepper, chopped


1/2 large red bell pepper, chopped


1/2 jalape帽o pepper, finely chopped (optional)


2 cloves garlic, minced


1 large onion, chopped


corn tortillas--at least 12


3 cups (28 ounces) beans


2 medium tomatoes, diced


1 tsp. chili powder, divided


1/2 tsp. cumin, divided


3 cups black beans, rinsed and drained


1 cup salsa


1 can enchilada sauce (or 1 1/2 cups homemade)


sliced black olives





Preheat oven to 375 F.





In a non-stick pan with a little water (1 tbsp.), saut茅 the peppers, garlic, and onion for about 3 minutes, or until softened. Set aside.





Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Line the bottom with a layer of tortillas (you may cut some of them to fit). Make sure you cover the entire bottom of the pan.





Stir the beans and spread half of them evenly over the tortillas. Cover the refried beans with half of the pepper-onion mixture and half of the tomatoes; sprinkle with half of the seasonings and half of the black beans.





Add another layer of tortillas and repeat the layers of the other ingredients. Spread the cup of salsa over the final layer of black beans. Cover with a final layer of tortillas, pour the enchilada sauce over the top, and sprinkle with black olives. Cover and bake for about 30 minutes or until hot throughout. It will be easier to cut if you allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.





Note: Fresh corn is a great addition to this. I use about 2 cups of uncooked (or frozen) corn and add it as one more layer. You may need a deeper pan, though
You could make a mock cheese sauce with nutritional yeast-its loaded with B vitamins and iron. That might make it a bit more zippy.
i dunno but it sounds kinda good. try bettycrocker.com





good luck!
cram more of your crap cheese in it
