Instructions
Chop and mix together the onion, pepper, corn, and cauliflower, then mix with ½ teaspoon cumin and 12/ teaspoon chili powder and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and roast on 425 degrees for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, grease a baking dish (mine was a 2.5-quart Corning-ware) and cover with about 2 tablespoon salsa. Place two tortillas over the salsa, or enough to cover the bottom of the dish.
In a bowl, mix together 1 cup cooked quinoa (or other “grain” of choice), 2 tablespoon salsa, ½ teaspoon chili powder, and ½ teaspoon cumin. Layer entire quinoa mixture over tortillas.
In the same bowl, add beans and mix in the finely chopped greens, mashing the beans a bit to help them stick together. Layer half of the bean mixture over the quinoa, and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Once the vegetables are done, mix about a quarter of the cheese with half of the veggie mixture and layer next. (The cheese here helps it stay together.)
Layer the remaining two tortillas, remaining salsa, remaining beans, and remaining veggie mixture.
Cover and bake on 425 degrees for about 25 minutes.
Remove from oven and top with remaining cheese. Return to oven uncovered and bake for about 5-10 minutes more, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Top with avocado, cilantro, guacamole, salsa, or whatever you’d like!
