Need to get a healthy dinner on the table fast? Prep this casserole in the morning (or night before) to have it ready to go for a quick weeknight dinner.

You guys… my life is crazy. Like real crazy. Like I often struggle to put dinner on the table crazy. Can you relate? In fact, in 2017, I’m trying to manage the cray cray with a bit more style and grace. But to be transparent: with only a couple of days into the new year we have already eaten dinner out…twice, errrr three times?—but who’s counting? Enter Vegetarian Tortilla Casserole.

And you know what’s even crazier… we pretty much we eat Mexican food ALL THE TIME. So today I had this Vegetarian Tortilla Casserole for lunch with some steamed kale and for dinner I ate chicken tortilla soup. What can I say…we love us some tortillas. Chips and guac??! Yes, please!

So to help me manage the chaos, I turn to the frozen and refrigerated dairy aisles of the grocery store. I like to keep frozen staples at the ready like these Gardenburger patties and frozen corn to whip up a dinner on the quick →  Vegetarian Tortilla Casserole, coming right up!

Frozen food gives me the flexibility to use what I need and reseal the rest for later, since frozen products last longer… that’s because freezing food seals in freshness. And, there’s less food waste that way.

Fun fact: Did you know, frozen products often contain more nutrients than fresh foods!? That’s because it’s harvested at peak of ripeness and nutrition and flash frozen, which preserves the nutrient content.

This recipe is easy to prep in advance or last minute… saute the veggies, crumble in the veggie burgers, mix with seasonings… and assemble into the pan. It only needs to bake for about 15 minutes until the cheese is melty and bubbly. Oh yes, bubbly cheese is just what you need in your life!

    I made this recipe, almost as-is,(I subbed the corn tortillas for flour) tonight & it was SO good! I always follow a recipe that I’m making for the first time, as it’s written (with very few exceptions) and then I make adjustments according to my liking. This one needs nothing added and nothing taken out. I used medium salsa and I used a mix of 50/50 sharp cheddar & Mexican cheeses. So besides the tortilla variety, we loved this meal❤️

    […] “Each year our holiday celebrations extend to January 6th, when we celebrate Three Kings Day. It’s a big deal in our bicultural household, especially in 2017, when for the first time my kids won’t be in school on that day. It’s a great excuse to keep celebrating the holidays and trying new, delicious foods. I think it’s the perfect chance for my boys to try sweet empanadas for the first time. I’ll start my new year’s resolutions afterward!” Kristina LaRue, Love & Zest – Vegetarian Tortilla Casserole […]
