Vegan Enchilada Casserole

Here at Trader Joe’s, our buyers have quietly been on a quest to bring more vegan variations of normally non-vegan foods to our shelves. We do this not just to make more plant-based options available to our vegan customers (although that’s certainly part of it), but to showcase how delicious these dishes can be to non- vegans, too. With Trader Joe’s Vegan Enchilada Casserole, for instance, we’ve simply put a vegan spin on the hearty, filling comforts of a homey, weeknight dinner classic, such that it can be enjoyed by carnivores and vegans alike. And believe us, there’s a whole lot to enjoy in this melty, saucy, multi-layered meal.

Inside each 20-ounce package of Trader Joe’s Vegan Enchilada Casserole, our supplier has stacked layer upon layer of soft corn tortillas with a medley of roasted veggies including yams, zucchini, onions, and zesty poblano peppers. They then smother them all in a toasty red chile sauce and top it off with a mix of mozzarella and cheddar-style shredded vegan cheese. Once cooked (either for a few minutes in the microwave, or a little longer in a conventional oven), this savory, stratified Casserole turns gloriously gooey and satisfying, especially when enhanced by your favorite fiery hot sauce or a nice application of our very own Salsa Autentica.
