With Cinco De Mayo right around the corner, I figured I would spice things up and bring you a Mexican inspired dish this week! I really love Mexican cuisine because it is SO easy to make gluten and dairy free.
My mom used to make a different Mexican inspired dish every day of the week leading up to Cinco De Mayo and enchilada casserole night was my favorite (right behind tacos of course)! I have Celiac Disease & a severe intolerance to dairy so it is important that I follow a strict gluten and dairy free diet.
When I re-created this recipe from my mother’s it was SO easy I was able to get it right on the first try (usually it takes me a few tries to adapt one of her recipes to get it just right). Not to mention, it is quick to put together and you can even prep it the night before!
You only need a few things to get this Vegan Enchilada Casserole ready for your fiesta:
- 9×11 Casserole Dish
- Mission Foods Corn Street Tacos (24 ct)
- 2 Cans of Black Refried Beans
- 2 Cans of Hatch Gluten Free Enchilada Sauce (It is important that you ENSURE there is no wheat flour in your enchilada sauce as it is common, this brand is the best, never had an issue with it)
- 1 Bag of Vegan So Delicious Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Cilantro
I promise you this will be one of the most delicious casseroles you ever eat!
