Roasted veggie enchilada casserole

Perfect for a family dinner or a potluck, this casserole offers a unique twist on traditional enchiladas by layering roasted veggies, black beans, and melted cheese between soft tortillas.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Vegetables:
- In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets, diced sweet potato, chopped red peppers, and diced onion with the olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Roast Vegetables:
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in an even layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
4. Prepare Tortillas:
- While the vegetables are roasting, cut the tortillas into halves or quarters for easier layering.
5. First Layer of Casserole:
- In the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of salsa sauce.
6. Assemble Casserole:
- Once the vegetables are roasted, begin the layering process.
- Add a layer of the cut tortillas over the salsa in the baking dish.
- Spread a portion of the roasted vegetables over the tortillas.
- Add a layer of black beans and a layer of spinach.
- Drizzle with salsa sauce and sprinkle with a portion of the shredded Monterey cheese.
- Continue layering with tortillas, vegetables, black beans, spinach, salsa, and cheese until all ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of cheese on top.
7. Bake Casserole:
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
8. Finish and Serve:
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious roasted veggie enchilada casserole!

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even roasting of the vegetables.

- Chop the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking. Smaller pieces can roast more quickly and evenly.

- Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season with ground cumin, salt, and black pepper before roasting to enhance their flavors.

- Roast the vegetables on a large baking sheet to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to steaming instead of roasting.

- Layer the tortillas, roasted veggies, black beans, spinach, and cheese in a baking dish. Start with a layer of salsa sauce on the bottom to prevent sticking.

- For a spicier dish, consider using a hot salsa or adding some chopped jalapeños to the vegetable mix.

- Bake the casserole at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and make slicing easier.

- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for a burst of color and added freshness.
