 EQUIPMENT

  • pie plate
  • medium saucepan

INGREDIENTS

  • 7 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce – Check labels for allergens, as needed.
  • 2 cups vegan taco meat – Sub store-bought vegan crumbles, if desired. See Notes.
  • ½ large onion, chopped
  • 1 cup corn kernels, thawed if using frozen
  • ½ cup sliced black olives
  • ½ batch vegan queso fresco – Or 1 ½ cups shredded vegan cheese.

For serving (optional):

  • guacamole
  • vegan sour cream
  • cilantro

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). In a medium saucepan heat the enchilada sauce until just warm to the touch.
  • Place 4 of the tortillas in the warm sauce. Use your hands to submerge them, ensuring both sides are coated. Pick up one tortilla, allowing excess sauce to drip back into the pan. Place tortilla in a 9-inch deep dish pie plate (or similar size skillet), toward the side. Repeat with remaining 3 tortillas so that the entire bottom of the plate is covered. (See photos above in post.)
  • Sprinkle about half of the taco meat, onion, corn, olives, and cheese on top of the tortillas.
  • Place the remaining 3 tortillas in the sauce, and repeat the the process, creating another layer on top of the meat and veggies. Sprinkle with the remaining taco meat, veggies, and cheese. Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly on top.
  • Bake for 20 to 23 minutes or until hot. Let stand 5 minutes, then slice and serve with your favorite toppings.

NOTES

Substitutions

If using store-bought vegan beefy crumbles, crumbled tofu, or other homemade veggie ground for the seasoned taco meat, I recommend first sautéing it with taco seasoning. Store-bought seasoning blend is fine, or use the homemade blend mentioned in this Taco Bowl post. 

This lentil taco meat is also a great option.

Storing

Leftover tortilla pie will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
