1⁄2 red onion diced
1 1⁄2 garlic cloves minced
1 1⁄2 tsp Mexican spice mix (a mix of ground cumin, paprika & chilli pepper) or to taste
1 can of mixed beans (14 oz can) drained & rinsed (or any beans of choice)
1 can of diced tomatoes (14 oz can)
1⁄2 cup (60g) frozen corn kernels
salt & pepper, to taste
2 whole grain/whole wheat tortillas or wraps, small (1 ½ oz ea) (or gluten free)
1⁄2 tbs vegan mozzarella grated
'Cheese Sauce'
200g silken tofu
1⁄4 cup (15g) nutritional yeast
1⁄2 tbs apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Preheat oven to 355°F/fan-forced 325°F.
Spray a non-stick skillet with oil and saute onion and garlic over medium heat for a few minutes.
Add spice and continue to saute for another 2-3 minutes.
Add beans, tomatoes and corn and simmer for 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning.
At the same time, blend 'Cheese Sauce' ingredients until smooth. Adjust seasoning.
Spray an oven-proof dish (about the size of your tortillas) with oil and place half the tortillas on the bottom.
Spread half the bean mixture over the tortilla and top with half the 'cheese sauce'.
Cover with remaining tortillas and top with remaining beans and 'cheese sauce'. Scatter over mozzarella.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked and the mozzarella has melted and beginning to brown.
Allow lasagna to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
