Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 zucchini chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 can 15 oz black soybeans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne optional, but let’s be brave
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¾ cup vegan shredded cheese cheddar-style
  • ½ cup vegan sour cream
  • ¼ cup green onions sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 avocado sliced (for garnish)
  • Juice of half a lime because we’re fancy

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease the casserole dish like your skin on self-care Sunday.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Toss in onions and cook until soft—like your willpower around snacks.
  • Add garlic, bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until veggies are just tender and your kitchen smells divine.
  • Stir in black soybeans, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Mix it up like it’s drama night.
  • Spread the mixture into your casserole dish. Top with vegan cheese and cover with foil like a cozy edible blanket.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil, then bake 5 more minutes to melt that “cheese” like it’s hot.
  • Let it cool for 5 minutes (hardest part, we know).
  • Top with sour cream, green onions, cilantro, avocado, and lime juice.
  • Serve with sass, side-eye, and possibly a mocktail.
