Slow Cooker 'Uala Enchilada with Soyrizo

2 medium 'uala,  thinly sliced (we used the Okinawan purple and the orange)
4 cups enchilada sauce (we could have added more)
1 package corn tortillas (Big Spazz wants to put more tortillas next time)
1/2 package soy chorizo (the package comes with two sausages - use the other one for breakfast with tofu scramble and chorizo/onion/pepper/hash browns)
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

Lightly oil bottom of the crock pot (optional, but our tortillas on the bottom stuck a little). Pour a layer of one-fourth of the sauce over the bottom. Cover the sauce with a single layer of tortillas. Top with  one-third of the soyrizo, one-third of the 'uala, one-third of the black beans. Top with sauce. Repeat the layering, ending with a final layer of corn tortillas and the remainder of the sauce.

Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low 4-5 hours. This is a good Saturday afternoon dinner that is perfect when there's cleaning to do. We use a 6 1/2 quart crock pot, so next time, more sauce, more tortillas, but this was still a really great dinner.

Another Big Spazz tip, buy the chunky 'uala rather than the long, svelte one. It makes it easier to layer. In this case, size sometimes matters -- go for the short and wide versus long and thin.

The original recipe is from The Vegan Slow Cooker, p. 91

Eat it as is
