*NOTES
I think you could use pretty much any (vegan/gluten-free) veggie burger in this recipe, but it helps if you use one with a spicy/mexican/southwest flavor. Also, if you don’t like spicy food, then you might want to opt for plain diced tomatoes (no chilies) instead. And don’t get too hung up on the exact spices. If you don’t have one of them on hand, no big deal. Like I said, I left ALL of the spices out (by accident) and it still tasted GREAT. Tip: use a pizza cutter to cut the tortillas into strips.

STEP 4
Spray 8″ or 9″ square baking dish/pan with cooking spray. Place half of the tortilla strips in the dish, overlapping slightly. Spoon half of veggie mixture evenly over tortilla layer. Cover with remaining tortillas (I laid mine in the opposite direction) and then remaining veggie mixture. Top with cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

If you’re not familiar with vegan cheese, it doesn’t melt the same way regular cheese does. And it really doesn’t add that much flavor. It’s more for visual appeal.
I garnished it with a few chopped green onions and served it with salsa and Tofutti vegan sour cream. This is one of those recipes that’s even better reheated on day two.
