SMOKEY VEGGIE SAUSAGE, CORN & BEAN TORTILLA BAKE 

by Zars Kitchen Admin

A gorgeous veggie option for #MeatFreeMonday… soooo cheesy and comforting with a rich tomato sauce, your fav meat-free sausages, sweetcorn, black beans and plenty of cheese… all sandwiched between layers of flour tortillas! 

The tortillas are used instead of lasagne sheets and wonderfully soak up all the deliciousness… you will be hooked once you try doing this.   The variations to the recipe are just endless… use meat sausages or chorizo if you don’t want it veggie or swap out the kidney beans for black beans instead… I promise this is a recipe that’s guaranteed to become a family favourite!

I’ve always been obsessed with Chipotle chillis in adobe sauce but they haven’t been readily available in supermarkets in the UK until recently.  Usually I buy the tinned La Costena Chipotles in Adobo sauce @lacostenauk available on Amazon but now  Ancho Chillis in Adobe are available from @ocadouk and @marksandspencerfoodpr.
