I woke up this morning craving chips and salsa! Mexican food, yes, please!  Although it was too early for a margarita or a Corona, my tastebuds went into overdrive and I started digging through my pantry.

For those of us north of Tijuana, our version of Mexican food has been slightly altered.

In this recipe, you can opt to use another vegetable, besides the zucchini. Perhaps sweet potatoes or finely diced cauliflower.

ENJOY!

NOTE: This can be made up to a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator before baking.

Oh My! These turned out seriously fantastic. I recommend pairing the tacos with the Avocado Crema because it goes so well with the baked cauliflower.

These really don’t take too long and you can go from prep to oven-ready in 30 minutes’ time. There should be leftovers for the next day or if you don’t want too many corn tortillas, simply toss the cauliflower, crema, refried beans, and vegan cheese with some arugula and fresh tomatoes.

I came across a recipe yesterday that I used as a template for this one. The original, in my opinion, lacked imagination and a variety of flavor levels.

It comes together in about 20 minutes, along with the 35-minute cooking time, (5 minutes for sauteeing vegetables, 30 minutes for baking) which means dinner will be ready in less than 1 hour.

When putting the casserole together, I recommend using a 9×13″ glass baking pan and cutting one of the corn tortillas in half to fill open spaces on the bottom layer. I started by placing 3 of the tortillas in a row, filling the second row with two, and placing the two halves on each side to fill the entire bottom of the baking pan.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me in the comments section or send me an email.

ENJOY!
