Equipment

  • 1 Baking Dish 9x13 inches
  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Knife

Ingredients
  

Casserole Components

  • 1 medium head of cabbage thinly sliced
  • 2 cans 15 oz each black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Spices

  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse and drain the black beans. Thinly slice the cabbage. Measure out all spices and nutritional yeast.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced cabbage and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add black beans, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer tortillas, then half of the cabbage and bean mixture. Repeat the layers and finish with tortillas on top.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden.

Serving

  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve with your favorite toppings such as avocado, cilantro, or vegan sour cream.

Storage

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
