Spinach & Bean Chipotle Casserole [vegan]

This vegan spinach and bean chipotle casserole is just so delicious.

This vegan spinach and bean chipotle casserole is just so delicious. Inspired by Mexican cuisine, it is loaded with iron and plant-based protein and makes a complete meal.

Ready in 35 minutes or less, it is a perfect dinner for when you have no time to linger in the kitchen but still want a hearty meal.

Make it spicy or not by playing around with the amount of chipotle you add to this casserole. You can use any type of white beans such as butter beans or cannellini beans.

I usually serve this Spinach & Bean Chipotle Casserole with some crunchy bread to soak up the tasty juices.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. If you make this recipe, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
