Vegan Southwestern Veggie-Packed Tater Tot Casserole

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350¿ (180¼).
2. Prepare the cauliflower by cutting it in half, removing the stem, and chopping it into small pieces. Set aside.
3. In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Then, add the garlic and onion and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
4. Next, add the corn, carrots, black beans, and 2 cups (600 g) of cauliflower to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for another 3 minutes, until the corn starts to brown around the edges.
5. To evenly coat the vegetables, stir in the flour, chili powder, and salt.
6. Add the milk and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Cook and stir constantly until the mixture thickens, around 3 minutes.
7. Stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted.
8. Turn off the heat and arrange the tater tots on top of the vegetable mixture.
9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the casserole is browned and bubbling, approximately 30 minutes.
10. Once ready, garnish the casserole with tomato, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro, if desired.
11. Finally, it's time to enjoy!
