Black Bean Casserole
Ingredients:
6 corn tortillas
1 ½ cups black beans
10 tomatillos
3 zucchinis, chopped
3 tomatoes, chopped
2 cup onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
¼ cup nutritional yeast
3 tsp Mexican seasoning
Directions:
Peel off the tomatillo skins.
Fill a large sauce pan with water and set to boil. When boiling drop in
the peeled tomatillos and cook for 5 - 7 minutes until they start to soften.
Drain the tomatillos.
Add the tomatillos, 1 garlic clove and 1/2 cup of the chopped onion
into a blender and liquefy.
Chop all the remaining vegetables. Heat up the oil and sauté the onion
and red bell pepper 5 minutes. Add the zucchinis and sauté till just tender.
Add the black beans (drain and rinse if they are canned), chopped tomatoes and the nutritional yeast and sauté another few
minutes.
Put about 1/4 of the tomatillo sauce into the bottom of a lightly
greased baking dish. Layer half of the corn tortillas on top of the sauce. Put
in the sautéed veggies. Layer the rest of the corn tortillas and the remainder
of the sauce.
Stick in 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until hot.
When do you a the black beans?
ReplyDeleteI'll find out how she does it and fix this recipe. thank you for noticing! I would suggest that you could either do them as a separate layer or mix them with the veggies. If you use canned beans, drain and rinse them first.
ReplyDeleteI've updated the recipe! Add the beans with the tomatoes and nutritional yeast. Again, I am so glad you noticed and spoke up!
ReplyDeleteRecipe says: 1/4 nutritional yeast...?
ReplyDeletehow much should that be?
1/4 cup. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat is nutritional yeast? Regular yeast like for bread?
ReplyDeleteHi there, nope, it's not that sort of yeast. It's an inactive yeast common in vegetarian cooking for its savory nutty/cheesy flavor and protein and vitamins such as B vitamins. Here's a great link that explains about it. http://vegetarian.about.com/od/glossary/g/nutyeast.htm
