Ready to try this winner-dinner out for yourself? 

Mexican Veggie Stack Recipe

Prep 20 minutes  |  Cooking time 1 hour  |  Serves 6

Ingredients 

  • 1 carrot
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 red capsicum
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp coriander
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp chilli powder, optional
  • 400 g (1 can) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 400 g (1 can) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 400 g (1 can) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 400 g (1 can) diced tomatoes
  • 375 ml (1 ½ cups) vegetable stock
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • 200 g (2 cups) cheese, grated

Method

  1. Place the carrot, zucchini and capsicum in a high-speed food processor and blitz for a few seconds until a grated consistency. Alternatively grate by hand. Set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion over a medium heat for 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.
  3. Reduce heat and add garlic and spices. Stir for one minute before adding the vegetables and allow to cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add tomatoes, stock, kidney beans, black beans, chickpeas and combine with the vegetable mixture. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add tomato paste and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for a further 5 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 180° C. Place 4 tortillas in the bottom of a baking dish with edges overlapping. Spread a third of the bean mixture over tortillas then top with a third of the cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients by assembling layers of tortillas, beans, and cheese. End with grated cheese on the top.
  7. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
  8. Serve in your favourite WMBT Snackie. Delicious with sour cream.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

A Customizable Culinary Adventure

This Mexican Veggie Stack is delicious as-is, but because it’s such a versatile and adaptable treat, you have the option to  customise it for variety, tailor it to diverse tastes and preferences, or elevate the experience further with a range of creamy dips.

Here are a few exciting alternatives:

  • Protein Variations: Swap black beans for pinto beans, lentils, or even grilled tofu to cater to different protein preferences.
  • Veggie Roulette: Mix and match vegetables! Try zucchini, corn, or spinach for variety.
  • Dairy-Free Delight: Opt for dairy-free cheese or nutritional yeast to make it suitable for lactose-intolerant tummies.

Here are some delightful dips to savour: 

  • Sour Cream Sensation. Add a dollop of sour cream for a cool, tangy taste. 
  • Classic Guacamole. The creamy consistency and bright flavours make this a must-have siding.  
  • Tzatziki Twist. This Greek dip, made from yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, and herbs, offers a refreshing contrast to the casserole's earthy flavours. 

Hungry For More? 

If you enjoyed our Mexican Veggie Stack, there’s more where that came from! Discover more simple yet spectacular recipes in  our Easy Dinner Ideas for Kids recipe collection—a handy booklet filled with delightful dinner inspirations sure to delight even the pickiest eaters. Or, as we like to call it, our ‘secret weapon’ to fun, fast and family-friendly meals!

Adorable mini shapes

These are so easy to use and very handy when wanting to make small individual cakes without having to get all the patty pans out - great size for lunchbox treats & such a cute shape.
Only wish the mould was a bit smaller so it could fit in my air fryer for even more quick & convenient cooking!
