More nutritious and less fatty than cheese chilaquiles, I created this when cooking for groups of 30 people, and now make it for my son and me. I found that when I went to the trouble of rolling up enchiladas, people would wreck them when serving themselves, or only want half of one. This casserole is easier to prepare and serve!

Ingredients

6 serv.
  • corn tortillas12
  • (19 ounce) can enchilada sauce1
  • (15 ounce) can black beans (I use Goya Black Bean Soup)1
  • (12 ounce) package vegetarian ground beef, substitute (Quorn, Morning Star or Boca)1
