Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium pot, boil the potatoes with 1 teaspoon of salt, until tender. Remove potatoes from the pot and using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they are smooth. Add the butter, garlic powder and milk, ½ cup vegan mozzarella cheese and combine well. Set aside
In a medium pan, heat the oil over medium-hot heat. Sauté the onion, pepper, garlic, cilantro. Add the meat and let cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, oregano, salt and cayenne. Let simmer 5 min.
Lightly spray a glass baking pan with cooking spray. Add a layer of mashed potatoes to the bottom of the pan. Then, add a second layer with all the cooked crumbled meat. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Spread another layer of mashed potatoes and top with the rest of the cheese.
Place in the oven, uncovered, for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted.
Serve warm.
