Vegetarian Green Enchilada Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the sauce: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chile powder, cumin and cayenne, and continue to cook, stirring, until the spices are toasted, about 1 minute. Add 2 cups water, the tomato puree and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (it should be looser and thinner than marinara sauce), 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• For the filling: Squeeze all the excess moisture out of the spinach. Put it into a large bowl with the pinto beans, and squeeze with your hands to combine and smash up the beans a little. Add half of both the Cheddar and the pepper Jack, half of both the sour cream and the scallions and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and stir to combine.
• Spread about 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Lay the tortillas out on a work surface, and spread 1 side of each with about 1 teaspoon of tomato sauce. Put about 1/4 cup of the filling across the middle of each tortilla. Roll each up, then shingle them in 2 even rows in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, and sprinkle with the remaining cheeses. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil, and bake until the cheeses are melted and the filling is hot, about 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking to heat completely through, about 10 minutes more.
• For the topping: Whisk together the remaining sour cream, the lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the mixture over the baked enchiladas, and sprinkle with the remaining scallions.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
• Saute the onion until translucent.
• Add garlic salt and black pepper.
• Add mushrooms and cook until tender.
• Add corn and black beans to heat through.
• Add spinach and cook until wilted.
• Mix together the enchilada sauce and salsa.
• Spread a thin layer of sauce in a 9x13 baking dish.
• Lay out 4.5 tortillas to cover the bottom
• Spread out half of the veggies.
• Pour half of remaining sauce over veggies.
• Sprinkle half of the cheese.
• Repeat with tortillas, veggies, sauce and cheese.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• While making the "meat" mixture, microwave or roast the yams until fork tender. Mine took about 10 minutes on full power.
• Saute the onions in a large non-stick fry pan for 3-4 minutes.
• While this is cooking, pulse the olive mix in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Add this to your sauté. No need to clean the processor; add your mushrooms, pulse until coarsely chopped, and add this to your sauté. Now pulse the cauliflower, and add to fry pan. Add the cooked lentils and continue to sauté until all vegetables are softened.
• Finish this mix by stirring in the tomatoes, taco mix, corn and beans, and remove from the heat.
• Peel and mash the yams, seasoning to taste. I leave them alone, as they have just right amount of sweetness naturally for my tastes, and the other ingredients will add all the savoriness needed.
• Start to layer lasagna-style in a deep baking pan. I used a half steam-table pan, as it's called in the foodservice industry. Start with a thin layer of enchilada sauce, about 1/4 of the can. Cover this with a layer of tortillas (don't worry about trimming them to fit perfectly). Top with half of your "meat" mixture. Top that with 1/4 of the cheese, and another layer of tortillas. Top that with 1/4 of the sauce, and cover with the yams and 1/4 of the cheese. Add another tortilla layer, the rest of the "meat" mix, 1/4 of the cheese and 1/4 of the sauce. Top with a final layer of tortillas, the rest of the sauce and cheese, and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or so.

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in ground turkey; cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease.
• Stir enchilada sauce and diced tomatoes into the pot. Simmer until flavors combine, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix cottage cheese, egg, and cumin together in a small bowl.
• Spread 1/3 of the turkey sauce in the bottom of an 8-inch baking dish. Cover with 1/2 of the corn tortillas. Spread 1/2 of the cottage cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle 1/3 of the Mexican cheese on top. Repeat layers once more, ending with remaining turkey sauce and Mexican cheese.
• Spray a large piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray; cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue baking until top is browned, about 15 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onion.
