Meatless Taco Pie Food

VEGAN TACO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• Line the bottom of a small casserole baking dish (or an 8-inch spring-loaded cheesecake pan) with parchment paper.
• Place the cashews into a small bowl, cover with boiling water and soak for 15 minutes, or place the cashews into a small stockpot and boil for 10 minutes, drain off the water, then place them into a high-speed blender with all the remaining Sauce Ingredients and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
• While the cashews are soaking, make the Bean-Veggie Layer. Place the diced onions, bell pepper, and jalapeno into a non-stick skillet and sauté for approximately 8 to 9 minutes until tender. If the veggies start to stick splash a little water in the pan.
• Then add all the remaining Bean-Veggie Ingredients into the pan, saute, stirring constantly until heated through, approximately 3 minutes. Then remove from the stove and set aside.
• Place the tortillas onto a large baking sheet and place into a preheated 400 F oven and toast until lightly crisp, approximately 5 minutes, then remove.
• Place one 6-inch tortilla on the bottom of the spring-form pan, then take one 6-inch tortilla and cut it in half and place it on the sides to cover the bottom of the 8-inch spring-form pan (see notes below). Then take ¼ of the bean-veggie mixture and place it on top of the tortillas and spread into a thin layer. Cover the veggie layer with ¼ cup of the sauce, then repeat 3 more times, ending with sauce on top. Note: Don't worry if the sauce doesn't completely cover the entire veggie layers.
• Place the taco pie into a preheated 400 F oven and place a baking sheet over top (cookie sheet) to lock in the heat and bake for 20 minutes until heated through.
• Serve topped with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, avocadoes and cilantro. Cut into wedges, enjoy!
