Vegan Taco Pie

One of my readers requested a new recipe based on my "Taco Meat" from my Amazing Cauliflower Tacos Recipe.  So I took a break from the Instant Pot last night and whipped up what I call this Vegan Taco Pie.

And it was mighty delicious!

Spiced Cauliflower crumbles, mixed with sautéed Onions, Bell Peppers, and a homemade Enchilada Sauce, topped with my Vegan Country Cornbread.  The guys are really going to like this one!

Vegan Taco Pie Casserole

This is actually a very simple recipe based on several of my previous recipes.

• The Enchilada Sauce can me made from my Potato Mushroom Enchilada Recipe.  
• The taco 'meat' is from my Amazing Cauliflower Taco Recipe. 
• And the Cornbread Topping is my Country Vegan Cornbread Recipe.

I bought one of those bags of Riced Cauliflower already precut and it made the Tacos come together a lot easier.  Start your taco meat baking while you prepare the Enchilada Sauce, which is nothing more than Tomato Sauce, Water, and some spices.

Then, sauté a large Onion, 1 Green Bell Pepper, and 1 Red Bell Pepper in a little bit of Veg Broth.  When softened, stir in 4-5 cloves of minced garlic and let then simmer for a minute or two.

Stir in your baked Taco Crumbles and 1 cup of Enchilada Sauce.  To give it even more of an authentic Taco/Mexican flavor - stir in 1 Tbs of Masa Corn Flour and it will also thicken the filling.

Spoon the filling into a 9x13 Glass Baking Dish and then pour the batter from the Cornbread Recipe over the top.

Bake in a 350 °F oven for 30 minutes...or until the top has turned a golden brown.

Garnish with shredded lettuce, tomato, salsa, or avocado.

The sweet cornbread goes very well with the slightly spice taco mixture.  I can easily see this becoming a new regular on our dinner rotation.  Please give me a shout if you try it and let me know what you think!

As always - keep those comments coming.

Enjoy!
