Mexican Bake
1 can of refried beans
1 can of black beans
1 box or package of Spanish flavored rice
salsa
guacamole
vegan soy cheese
tortilla chips
vegan sour cream
Preheat oven to 375F. Cook Spanish rice following directions on package. Drain black beans. Make guacamole (or buy a vegan brand of guacamole.) Shred up vegan cheese. In a medium sized baking dish spread out the full can of refried beans. Layer cooked rice on top. (I usually don't fully cook the rice since you are going to be baking it and don't want it to dry out.) Layer black beans on top of rice. Now spread a generous layer of guac and salsa. Sprinkle cheese (I usually put the cheese in this layer so it melts nicely.) Now crush up a bunch of tortilla chips and sprinkle over the top of the entire bake. Now you are ready to bake for aprox. 15 - 20 minutes.
If you can find vegan sour cream you can add that to the top after the dish has finishe'd baking. This feeds two hungry people dinner or three/four for lunch. It is so easy and tasty I hope you enjoy it.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
This is a solid recipe. I made it pretty much as directed, minus the sour cream and it was tastier than expected. It feeds way more than 2 hungry people though - This dish filled my casserole dish to the brim and my boyfriend and I plan on eating this for dinner for several days. Good recipe-thank you.
