Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease your baking dish like you’re prepping for greatness.
- In a frying pan, heat olive oil and sauté onion and bell pepper until soft and fragrant.
- Add corn, black beans, and chopped green chiles. Stir and let them mingle like gossip at brunch.
- In a bowl, whisk chickpea flour, almond milk, nutritional yeast, black salt, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Combine the veggie mixture with the chickpea batter. Add half the vegan cheese and stir gently.
- Pour everything into the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on top because moderation is overrated.
- Bake for 40 minutes until golden, firm, and sizzling with attitude.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes — it needs a moment to collect itself, just like you before coffee.
- Slice, serve, and bask in the spicy compliments.
