Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole
Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole. Layered with black beans, corn, green chilies and corn tortillas!
I’ve been making this Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole at least once a week. It’s super easy to throw together and it tastes amazing! I use a store bought enchilada sauce to save time but you could always make your own enchilada sauce at home!

This Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole is layered with black beans, green chiles, corn and lots of cheese. I start by cutting all of the corn tortillas in half. This helps when cutting the casserole as well as making sure the whole pan gets covered with tortillas.
Next I layer the the ingredients between three layers and top with cheese! Bake for 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve with fresh cilantro, black olives, sour cream and extra enchilada sauce on the side!!
