Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Chop the yellow onion and bell pepper into small pieces.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

Drain and rinse the black beans. Add them to the skillet along with the diced tomatoes and green chilies. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce along the bottom.

Step 7

Cut the corn tortillas in half. Layer half of the tortillas over the sauce, covering the bottom of the dish.

Step 8

Spread half of the bean and vegetable mixture over the tortillas, followed by a layer of 1 cup dairy-free cheese.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process with more enchilada sauce, the remaining tortillas, the rest of the bean mixture, and another 1 cup of dairy-free cheese.

Step 10

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top layer and sprinkle with any additional dairy-free cheese if desired.

Step 11

Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and lightly browned.

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
