Here is another vegetarian recipe for lent. It is gluten-free and a one pan meal. I learnt this recipe from a vegetarian friend. My husband and kids love it. I am waiting for Easter so I can try it with chicken. I have a recipe for shredded chicken with chipotle peppers, salsa and a few more ingredients that I use to make tostadas.
You will need a 9×13 baking dish. For the vegetables you can use corn, black beans, bell-peppers, mushrooms or cooked pinto beans (Mexican frijoles). I used Sprouts enchilada sauce but I prefer the Trader Joe’s. It has a nice kick and flavor.
Serving Size : 6-8
Ingredients:
18 corn tortillas
2 can black beans drained
2 fresh corn steam in the microwaves for 6 minutes take the kernel of the cob
1 medium onion diced
4 cloves garlic diced
1/2 cup chunky salsa
3 cups of fresh grated cheese ( I used medium cheddar)
1.5- 2 bottles of enchilada sauce (12oz/bottle)
9×13 baking dish
Directions:
Saute the onions till translucent. Add the garlic and saute for a few seconds. Next add the corn and black beans, salsa and saute well. Cook for 5-7 minutes covered on medium heat. Let cool.
Next warm the tortillas quickly on a pan to make them pliable.
Set oven to 350F
Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce at the bottom. If your enchilada sauce does not have a great flavor mix it with some salsa.
Stuff each tortilla with the corn and black bean mixture. Line them with the seams side down. Pour enchiladas sauce on top of them sprinkle with cheese and make the second layer the same way.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes then take of the foil and bake another 5 minutes.
If you like it more moist then pour some more enchilada sauce on top before serving. Enjoy with a side of guacamole and fried plantains like we did.
uh yum!!!

Oh! that is so nice. We love medium cheddar. Thank You so much for the compliment. I do my own images by my kitchen window with my samsung S6 and then photoshop it. I do not own a prof camera so the images are not that very up to the mark.

Great veggie dish right there Nandini. I make something very similar. We are trying to stick with more vegetarian and fish dishes most of the week, and do you know I don’t even miss the meat so far? Love the idea of the fried plantains too, love those as a side.

Heya Nandini!
Hope You and hubby are well and BACK ON TRACK?.VOW! VEGETABLE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE looks STUPENDOUS. Your pictures look FABULOUS AS ALWAYS.Just GAZING at Your photos FILLS MY/OUR TUMMY. We being in lent,quite rightly, I think it is a good idea to have it minus the meat.As You said ROLL ON EASTER SUNDAY so that We could use chicken to it.I think My spouse will be on the case and prepare this dish.But I must say this She gets a bit WORRIED/RESTLESS sometimes with new recipes.In other words the NERVES START TO KICK IN. She worries that they may not turn out right/good.But I say to Her ‘LINDA,YOU GOT TO RISK IT FOR A BISCUIT’.And You are not in a competition, so the ELEMENT OF PRESSURE/ANXIETY SHOULD NOT BUILD IN. Nandini could You be kind enough and educate Me on this ‘TRADER JOE’S SAUCE? I really don’t have a clue about this sauce. never heard of it. I am off to the supermarket to see if I can spot this sauce on the shelfs. Of late I have been forwarding Your HANDSOME RECIPES to Dr. Jeannine Costa, My relative in Germany, Who is a foodie.And also to Malcolm Costa in Middlesex,UK as always. What more could I say? Well Yes! It is great to know that one of Our own comes out with FANTASTIC RECIPES.THANKS FOR EXPRESSING/DEMONSTRATING YOUR TALENT with Us.I thought I was a GOOD COOK TILL I MET YOU AND GOAN IMPORTS.I must be brave and confess this ‘I FEEL LIKE AN AMATEUR’.I could go on and on and on about Your GENIUS. BUT INSTEAD I AM GOING TO APPLY THIS THING CALLED BRAKES,AND STOP.
HAVE A SPLENDID WEEKEND!
WITH TONS OF GRATITUDE!
Stan & Linda

Thank You Mr Stan so much. It makes me happy to know you enjoy my recipes. I love to cook different dishes and get a thrill when done right else I do feel disappointed. The sauce used is actually called as an enchilada sauce it is mexican . Trader Joe’s is a grocery store name. Not sure what brand you get in the Uk. Here is a link for making at home http://allrecipes.com/recipe/228570/homemade-enchilada-sauce/
I like you saying ” YOU GOT TO RISK IT FOR A BISCUIT”. And also Thank You for sharing my post. You and Mrs Stan have a lovely week.
