    I love your videos Jill…I am just now turning vegan. My hubs is not that enthused. He is still on the Meat side. ๐Ÿ™ So I would probably be the only one eating it. I've never eaten rehydrated soy curls. How is that texture compared to say, pulled chicken?

    Oh I made this today, and it was wonderful. I love this Really Cheesey fat free vegan cheese dip. It is wonderful. The only differences I made was that I added to your recipe – frozen peas and frozen no-oil hash browns and I used cut up corn tortillas since I wanted to use up my tortillas. Wow,it was delicious. I also added diced green chilies to the cheesy cheese sauce. It was great. I also used my Ipot, woot woot, lol, and slow cooked it almost 3 hours. See I learned from your experience. I love my Ipot, and my OMGee cookbook. Thanks Jill – you're the best ๐Ÿ’•

    This is a "layered" dish. I think that is probably why the original recipe did not call for the mixing together of the tomatoes, beans, and corn. Putting them on separately gives the physical appearance of a more multi-layered dish. But I'm with you. mix it together. It will make it faster and easier to prepare and taste just a good!

    Gonna make this later today using the recipe in your O M Gee Good! cookbook. Living on the product-deprived island of Kauai, I could not find any cans of Chipotle seasoned tomatoes so I will use the same quantity of tomatoes and add a bit of Chipotle Chili Power (which I also could not find on Kauai, but ordered from Amazon). Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

    Hi Jill I am making this today. I have a question. In your cookbook, you say to cook for 4 hours and to slow cook with the vent open . But in the video, you say 2 hours and I believe a closed vent. Can you clarify for me? Thanks!

    Just curious as to what kind of pot that you had your cheese sauce in. It looks like a calaphon brand but not sure. Is it a coated pan? If so, how do you get away with using a wire wisk without damaging the coating on the pan?

    Can I say, "Chilaques!!!" Supper yum! This I would so call Chilaques. ๐Ÿ™‚ Breakfast food on Sundays when I was growing up. Brilliant idea using the chips instead of the tortillas. I think my Dad, (the American parent), convinced my mom to use tortilla chips one Sunday when we didn't have enough corn tortillas back in the day. I had totally forgotten about that.Some recipes actually fry the tortillas before putting in the layer of tortillas. My Mom never did. So for those who fry, brilliant idea. And, I love the integration of the beans with it, and the corn, of course – BRILLIANT I never would have done that. ๐Ÿ™‚ Anyhow, my parents have since passed away, and try as I could I never managed to replicate her Chilaques. I'm trying your way, with regular old corn tortillas, (old as in they have gotten a bit dried out, like stale bread). Goodness girl, you sure brought memories back. AND, I want to try your cauliflower sauce as another layer in this, too, along with that awesome cheese sauce, (which I made and used it to make your spicy bean enchiladas – or frijoladas *giggle* instead of the cauliflower sauce because I didn't have any cauliflower handy and that video made me hungry….so I HAD to make it ASAP). But now that you have given me the know how in how to cook those chilaques in the hot pot…oh man, oh man-o, oh man!

    Jill – I'm unfamiliar with shredded soy curls. What are they, and where do you buy them? I live south of Houston so I'm an hour from the nearest Whole Foods, but have a big local H-E-B. What are these shredded soy curls called in the grocery store? This looks good for sure. Thanks for your reply and Happy New Year to you and yours!

    I am WFPB but my family is not. I am sure this Instant Pot that just arrived 20 minutes ago will help. At least it will help me make amazing recipes they will love. I am so glad I found you.

    I made this in the shiny new Instant Pot Smart with a few modifications – added sliced cooked potatoes, substituted refried beans for canned whole beans, salsa and spiced tomato sauce for canned tomatoes. Spiced up the cheese sauce a lot too – smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, chili powder, garlic.

    AND added a dollop of soy milk sour cream at table. It turned out to be more of a casserole than a layered lasagna (more tortillas next time) – but a wonderful hearty delicious dish.

    btw, the potatoes, refried beans, and soy milk sour cream were made in the IP as well. Soy curls are great. Vegan non-fat cheese sauce – Holy Nachos, Batman!

    made a version of this tonight for my carnivore hub and it was outstanding. I'm doing a juice fast this week and it just killed me to smell those spices cooking away all afternoon. He's in love with all the flavors and heat. I used flour tortillas for the layers and they looked like lasagna noodles when he spooned it up.
    Thanks for the heads up on "Chili Beans" too…awesome.

    I cooked this for two hours and it was only luke warm, put it on again for 30 minutes then we ate it (still not very hot). Parts of it had a funny taste which I am thinking were the corn chips (I use two different kinds, one for each layer) I also had to use TVP because you cannot buy soy curls in Ontario but I may get some shipped to me to try. I may try this again with different chips.

    Oh my goodness, this is a huge hit! I made this tonight for dinner and my non-vegan hubby said "this is awesome". I used my Instant Pot pinto beans that I make ahead and freeze instead of black beans and also added a little cilantro, other than that I followed your recipe to the T. We will be making this a lot. I am going to try and freeze the leftovers. Thanks, Linda Hardesty

    WOW…..JUST WOW!!!!!!! I made this today and this has to be the best thing I have ate since my transition to Vegan lifestyle…. I used the entire "cheese" recipe in mine and probably more corn than you had stated but everything else was just like your video. I am totally in love with the "cheese" sauce too!! I just love your video's and idea's…. Your awesome!!!

    I made the queso, it is amazing. I prefer this queso to the recipe with potatoes and carrots. I made the mexlasagna for tonight but in the crock pot and with veggie crumbles instead of soycurls. I also added some tri color peppers I had in the freezer. Let you know how it comes out! Thanks for the queso recipe, it is my fav food and I missed it so much since becoming vegan. I told you before I am a long time vegetarian with celiacs who can no longer digst dairy so I just went vegan and I like it very much.
