One Pan Enchilada Bake (Gluten & Dairy Free)

The easiest, “cheesiest” enchiladas without any of the fuss. Now that’s a meal I can get onboard with weekly!

SHOP MY AMAZON FOR INGREDIENTS: www.amazon.com/shop/kaylacguerra

Ingredients:

Taco Meat, recipe linked here

6-8 gluten free tortillas

1 jar Siete Enchilada Sauce

1 can Siete Vegan Refried Pinto Beans

1 cup Spanish Rice (optional)

1 package vegan shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 package vegan shredded mozzarella cheese

1/3 cup vegan sour cream

Spanish Rice Ingredients:

2 cups chicken bone broth

1 cup gluten free white rice

4-6 tablespoons Mexican Hot Sauce

1/2 cup organic tomato sauce

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 yellow onion, chopped

season with salt and pepper

  • To make: sauté garlic, onion and rice on medium heat with a little olive oil until the rice starts to brown (roughly 5 minutes). Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cover with lid for 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked through and liquids have been absorbed.

Step 1

Cook taco meat ahead of time following the recipe here, and set aside. If using Spanish Rice, prepare ahead of time and set aside.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut tortillas in half once, set aside. Warm up refried beans, set aside.

Step 3

In a casserole dish, start by layering 4 tortilla halves and top with 1/4 of the enchilada sauce. If using rice, this will be your next layer. Simply press rice to create a flat surface on top of the sauce and tortillas.

Step 4

Using the back of a spoon, spread the refried beans on top of the rice. Then top with prepared taco meat. Add another 1/4 of the enchilada sauce on top and smooth out using the back of a spoon.

Step 5

Drizzle vegan sour cream, and top with 1/3 of the shredded vegan cheddar cheese. Place 6 tortilla halves on top and spread remaining enchilada sauce on top.

Step 6

Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from oven and top with remaining shredded vegan cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Place back in oven until the cheese is fully melted, roughly 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Taco Bell’s “Healthified” Mexican Pizza (Gluten & Dairy Free)

Recreating fast food faves is way too fun! Introducing the delicious Mexican Pizza we all love from Taco Bell, with a bit of a healthy twist 🙂

If you loved the Crunchwrap Supreme recipe, you’re going to love this one even more. For all my Vegan friends, this recipe is just as easy with your favorite vegan ground meat substitute. Follow recipe the exact same way with your protein substitute option.

Which fast food favorite should I recreate next? Comment below!

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef or a ground vegan protien substitute

Avocado oil, to coat pan

1 packet Siete Foods Spicy Taco Seasoning

8 Gluten free tortillas (I prefer the Siete ones, but you can use your fave gluten free tortilla)

1 can black refried beans

1 jar Siete Foods Enchilada sauce

1 container of Cashew Fiesta Dip, from Trader Joes (or you can use any cashew queso, Siete Foods makes a great one!)

Shredded dairy free mozzarella, I used the cashew shredded cheese from from Follow Your Heart

Pico De Gallo

Optional: guacamole & vegan sour cream

Step 1

Start by cooking your meat, over medium heat with a drizzle of avocado oil. Add in taco seasoning according to package. Break up well with a wooden spoon.

Step 2

While that cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with avocado oil spray or coconut oil spray. Once it’s hot, add your tortilla. Cook for about a minute on each side or until they get crispy (you will need 2 tortillas per Mexican pizza).

Step 3

Spread refried black beans evenly over your crispy tortilla then top with your taco meat and cashew fiesta dip (melt this first). Add another tortilla on top, spread evenly with red enchilada sauce, sprinkle cheese over the sauce and add a couple spoonfuls of pico de gallo on top.

Step 4

Broil for about 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and voila! (Option to top with vegan sour cream, fresh avocado or guacamole after).

Enjoy!
