Tortilla Casserole. Vegetarian. Super good. Cheesy and easy.
Tortilla Casserole. If you like cheese, you will probably like this recipe!
Tortilla Casserole (Vegetarian) really satisfies.
This Tortilla Casserole originally comes from Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant, and you can bet it's good. Moosewood recipes are always good. It's a very tasty side dish, and simple to make. I did jazz it up a bit with some extra veggies.
I added some red peppers and summer squash (yellow and green), and I was happy I did. I love vegetables. There is plenty of protein for vegetarians to eat as their main dish, too.
What You Need
You will need knives, a cutting board, a cheese grater, measuring cups and spoons, a casserole dish, and a good skillet. But treat yourself and buy a whole set of good pans.
