Preparation

Step 1

On lowest oven setting dehydrate butternut squash and onion on trays for 1 1/2 hours. (dab a little coconut oil on if desired) You want the flavors concentrated while still keeping a firm texture.
In a bowl toss dehydrated veggies, spinach, 1/4 cup of the sauce, spices, nutritional yeast, lime juice and black beans.
in a circular casserole dish (approx same size as tortillas)start layering
1-sauce in thin layer
2-tortilla
3-full thick layer of veggies and beans
repeat as many times as desired finishing with a layer of sauce. Cook at 375 for 20 minutes or lower for longer amount of time.
To serve cut like pie and add toppers to taste!
