Vegan Mexican Casserole

Cinco de Mayo - Main Dish

This is a Mexican casserole recipe from my mother that I translated to vegan. I love this recipe and so does my non-vegan wife. (I add real cheese to her portion and top it with real sour cream.) It is easy to change and transform to make it your own. Enjoy!
