Delicious and Spicy 'who Needs Meat' Vegetarian Taco Casserole

One day, I was craving for mexican food but I had a vegetarian friend over for dinner, so I decided to experiment with a vegetarian take on my favorite taco casserole dish, which turned out, to my surprise, even better than the original! Instead of using tortilla chips, you can also just scoop some of the casserole in a soft taco, this is actually really good as well, especially when served with some guacemole! Show more
