Easy Enchilada Casserole

Makes 8 Servings

Ingredients

  • One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • One 16-ounce bag frozen mixed bell pepper strips, thawed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • One 12- or 16-ounce bag meat-free or soy crumbles
  • One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
  • One 2 1/4-ounce can sliced olives, drained, optional
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Directions

  1. Lightly oil or coat a 9 X 13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 1/4 cup of the crushed tomatoes evenly over the bottom of the pan and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, oregany, and salt and cook until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the remaining crushed tomatoes, the meat-free crumbles, and beans and stir to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  5. Arrange 6 tortillas on the bottom of the baking pan, allowing them to overlap. Top evenly with half the bean mixture and 1 cup of cheese. Arrange the remaining tortillas over the cheese. Top with the remaining bean mixture, cheese, and olives if desired.
  6. Bake uncovered until the cheese melts and the casserole is heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
