Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- First, mix the Tex-Mex spice blend ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a large wok or pan on medium and add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, green beans, mushrooms, and vegetable broth. Saute until veggies are soft and tender. Add a little more vegetable broth if veggies start to dry up. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper.
- Add the corn, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chopped kale, black beans, brown rice, and the Tex-Mex spice blend. Stir for a few minutes until well combined and heated.
- Pour mixture into a 9×13 casserole dish and smooth out the top. Sprinkle the crushed corn tortilla chips on top and cover the pan with foil. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Uncover the casserole dish and cook for 5 to 10 minutes more, until bubbly and lightly golden around the edges.
- Scoop the casserole into bowls and add your desired toppings. Enjoy!
