Ingredients

• 12 ounces Impossible ground 'meat' (plant-based)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 Small onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 15 ounces Black beans (canned, rinsed, and drained)
• 1.5 cups Salsa
• 4 Flour tortillas (medium-sized)
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)
• 4 ounces Canned diced green chilies (optional)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (for topping, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or casserole dish with nonstick spray or a bit of olive oil.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the Impossible ground 'meat' and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the mixture and stir to coat evenly. Add the canned diced green chilies (if using), black beans, and 1 cup of the salsa. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for about 3 minutes before removing from heat.

Step 6

Cut the tortillas into halves or quarters to make layering easier.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the remaining salsa (about 1/4 cup) on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

Lay down a layer of tortilla pieces, covering the bottom of the dish as completely as possible.

Step 9

Spread half of the meat and bean mixture over the tortillas, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.

Step 10

Repeat the layering process: add another layer of tortillas, the rest of the meat and bean mixture, and another sprinkle of cheese.

Step 11

Finish with a final layer of tortillas, the remaining salsa spread evenly on top, and a final sprinkle of cheese.

Step 12

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 13

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 14

Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your 'Impossible Burrito Bake'!
