Ingredients

1 cup vegan cheese, such as daiya cheddar style shreds (or substitute for daiya pepperjack style shreds)
2 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup salsa
15 ounce black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
10 ounce chopped spinach
10 ounce corn kernels
4 ounce mild green chili peppers, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat your favorite casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray. In a mixing bowl, combine quinoa and salsa, set aside.
In a separate bowl mash the black beans with a fork. Combine beans, corn, peppers, chili powder, and cumin in the same bowl and set aside.
Spoon 1 cup of quinoa mixture on the bottom of the baking pan. Layer spinach on top of the quinoa. Scoop bean mixture on top. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds. Add the remaining quinoa and top with the remaining Cheddar Style Shreds.
Bake for about 30 minutes until the Daiya cheese has melted. Serve and enjoy!
