Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 (12 oz) package soy chorizo, I used the one from Trader Joe’s
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 4 bell peppers, diced (you can use whatever colors you like)
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15 oz) can fire roasted tomatoes, with most of liquid drained off
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups cooked rice, or grain of choice
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 (4 oz) log goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional garnishes: fresh parsley or cilantro, diced onion and tomatoes, fresh lime juice, avocado, hot sauce or sour cream
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F. I like to prep all my ingredients ahead of time so it’s easier to put the meal together quickly.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add about two teaspoons olive oil. Next, add in the soy chorizo and the onions. Use a spatula to break apart the chorizo, if needed, and mix everything together. Let chorizo and onions cook for about 3-5 minutes until the chorizo is starting to brown.
- Next, add in the bell peppers and garlic. Give a good stir and let cook until peppers are starting to soften, about 3-5 minutes.
- Next, add in the tomatoes, rice, beans, marinara sauce, spices and salt and pepper. Give everything a good mix and let cook until flavors are combined, about 5 minutes.
- Add in half a cup of shredded cheese and all of your goat cheese and gently mix together. If you’re not already using an oven safe pan, transfer your mixture to a baking dish. Top with remaining half a cup of cheese and place in the oven. Bake casserole until cheese is melted and mixture is warmed through, about 15 minutes.
- Let cool for a few minutes, add desired toppings and enjoy! I like to eat casserole by itself or with a side of chips or a salad.
Notes
*If preparing this casserole ahead of time and not baking immediately, I would suggest covering with foil for the first 10 minutes of baking.
