Jana”s Yummy Mexican Taco Casserole

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, chopped (optional)
• 2 bell peppers, chopped
• 1 - 2 cans of your favorite beans
• 1 can chopped tomatoes
• 1 small can tomato paste
• 2 - 3 taco shells, crushed
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cloves (powder is best)
• white vinegar

Directions:

Fry onion and garlic until soft, add in peppers. Fry for about 2 minutes, then add beans, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste. If it''s too thick, add a bit of water. Now add all the spices and the vinegar and let it cook for about 10 minutes. If the taste isn''t strong enough, add in equal amounts of chili powder and vinegar, but no more cloves (they give the recipe the extra zest but if you add in too much it''s no good). Right before serving mix in crushed taco shells, then serve hot over rice. Enjoy! :)
