Vegetarian Tortilla Casserole

Summer Squash

This is just a blueprint for a yummy casserole.  You can use many other veggies in this and other meats/proteins.  You can also leave off anything you don't have and it will still be good!  I've made it with green sauce (from tomatillos) instead of the red sauce and it was also really good!

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or other cooking oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1bell pepper, diced
  • 2 zucchini or summer squash, diced
