The entree was La Dolce Vegan's pinto bean casserole with tortilla chip crust. It consisted of pinto beans mixed with a vegetable mixture of onion, garlic, green pepper, tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, jalapeno and vegetable broth and covered with crushed tortilla chips. In the last 5 minutes of baking I added a layer of nacho soy cheese. Although the meal looked awesome, I wasn't too impressed. I think it may have been because it was so spicy. The cheese is spicy too, so it may have just taken it overboard. When food gets too hot, its hard for me to taste anything that is in the meal. I added more cheese and bacon bits afterwards, oh and quite a bit of salt. It was still good, but I don't think I'd make it again. But you gotta take the good with the not so good, and I know that almost all the other meals in LDV are winners! Someone else might think this is the greatest dish in the world. I've just never really been a fan of dishes that are too hot or spicy.
That being said, once I get all my leftovers eaten up I plan on making a pesto spinach pizza from La Dolce Vegan. I can't wait. When I lived in Winnipeg before I was vegan, I used to get spinach feta pizza every time the EX was in town (a fair), I was crazy about it. Hopefully this pizza is somewhat similar, and if not, it still sounds delicious. I'll keep you posted!
