It has all of the flavors you love in traditional Mexican food, but is much healthier! And I have a giveaway this time for you :)!
A very healthy comfort food to satisfy your craving.This combination makes the dish juicy and crunchy. This dish is very healthy and also palatable. They look beautiful when you plate them. I always love Mexican food. Burritos, tostadas, taco ..enchiladas. You can always do your own taco plate with the veggies/meat you have at home. Just top it with some spices and colourful veggies to make it vibrant. Becaise I love Mexican food, this casserole hits all of the right spot for me. The spice level wzas perfect to me, if you think it is more, just reduce!
This delicious casserole is purely vegetarian and healthy! You can layer this in the pan like the way you want, avoid quinoa or avoid tacos. You can have them without tacos or just place over tacos after its cooked, garnish and enjoy it as for Tuesday tacos.I wanted to make this totally a healthy vegetarian guilt free food! I just mixed everything together and bake it, how simple it is right. You can even avoid the onion sauté and just mix everything in a bowl and bake it straight!
My other favorite mexican recipes : Roasted Cauliflower tacos with cilantro lime creama, Mexican mini mushroom quesadilla.

This casserole looks delicious! I’ve never thought to put quinoa in a casserole (I don’t even really make casseroles!) so I’ve pinned this to try later — thanks for the inspiration. If I won the casserole dish, I’d make curried chick peas with pomegranates! 🙂 Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Love the idea for your dish. Mexican flavours are wonderful.
A favorite of ours that this dish would be perfect for! We love one dish meals. Medium shaved steak with mustard, worcestershire sauce, dehydrated onion all rubbed together on the steak, add half a pickle and a carrot stick, roll tightly and secure with toothpicks. Brown in frying pan then put into baking dish. Add potatoes, carrots, onion chunks and cover with cream of mushroom soup. Bake for an hour at 400 degrees. Perfect dish for the perfect meals!
