I just have to say this is one of my FAVORITE recipes! It's so easy to put together and it's one of my husband's favorite meals. We never have leftovers!

I tried the recipe again with ricotta. I was surprised to find that ricotta just didn't work with the recipe. The texture is kind of weird and it didn't taste all that great. I'll definitely keep making it but I'm going back to cottage cheese.

I love enchiladas and lasagna so I was excited to try this recipe. I loved the stewed tomatoes and cumin flavor (my regular enchiladas don't have those ingredients). I have made it twice and it will definitely be made frequently in my house. My husband requested trying it with ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese and I'm going to do that next time. I think that will make it even better.

Fantastic recipe, great to reheat although it doesn't last long in our house.

Loved this recipe. Very easy to make and tastes delicious. I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef, only used 8 oz of the mexican cheese because I didn't want to buy two bags, and only 6 tortillas because that's all I had. It still turned out very good and you couldn't even tell I had used less on the amounts. Will make again!!!

This is an excellent recipe. My step dad who doesn't like lasagna hugged me and told me thank you for finally making one he would eat seconds of! I used ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. I also used a mix of mozzarella and cheddar instead of the taco cheese mix.

Loved this recipe! I think I used fewer tortillas and not sure if I layered it correctly, but we all agreed it was super tasty!

My husband and I loved this recipe. Like any lasagna recipe it made a hugh pan full. We ate on it twice and I froze the rest. It was equally as good the 2nd time around. Can't wait to make this for my friends at the beach this summer.

First, I want to say that this was a really good alternative to rolling enchiladas. In fact, if I have a taste for enchiladas, I probably would pull out this recipe instead. That being said...Clearly the photo was made with different ingredients than in the actual recipe. Those are red onions and diced tomatoes - neither of which are in the recipe. The reason I point this out is because my lasagna was not as thick or "juicy" looking as the one here. It still tasted good, but I figured I must have went wrong somewhere for them to look so drastically different. So I began scanning the ingredients again and noticed the differences.So I'm wondering if that luscious looking piece of enchilada lasagna in the photo used a completely different recipe than the one listed here. If I do make it again, I will try those substitutions and also see what other changes that could have been made.

Made this today for a lunch for ten. No leftovers. I substituted green chili enchilada sauce just because I like the flavor better. Next time I'm going to try it with chicken instead of the ground beef. Served it with a tossed salad and corn bread.

My husband is not fond of Mexican food, but really liked this. I used whole wheat tortillas, mexican canned tomatoes and salsa instead of enchilada sauce because that is what I had on hand. It turned out great.

This was a great dish! I used corn tortillas due to the health factor, and next time I will use less of them. Both me and my husband loved the flavors.

This makes a great multi-night casserole for my husband and I with leftovers to pack for his work lunches. I use a round casserole the size of my tortillas. In fact, this was so good it inspired me to perfect a recipe for my own enchilada sauce. This is definitely on our repeat list.

This is so easy to make and everyone loves it! The only change I made was substituting sour cream for cottage cheese. It seemed to make it even more like an enchilada. I have taken this dish to church meals and never come home with leftovers!

I modified the recipe to make it healthier. Instead of beef I used ground turkey breast, instead of the stewed tomatoes I used tomatoes with mild chilies, instead of the flour tortillas I used the 100 calorie tortillas, and I used 2 teaspoons of cumin. My husband loved it!

I have made this recipe twice. It is interesting to see how it has been tweeked by others. Second time I did not have "correct cheese" . It was still good . There are only two of us. I used less beef but all the sauce. The layering directions are a little strange. This is a wonderful new dish. I think that the flour torts are perfect substitute for lasagna noodles. I make Italian Lasagna from "scratch" 4 or 5 times a year. This is a wonderful , quick, way to serve a casserole. This last time I used 9x9 dish. Not so many left overs. We had it 2 nights with a little left over for lunch. I would definitely take this dish as the recipe to a potluck and be proud to present it.

I made this for dinner tonight. Living close to the Mexican border I chose to change a couple of things - not a big deal. Used canned tomatoes with chilis and onions (stewed tomatoes too sweet) and used corn tortillas instead of flour. Also used all sharp cheddar cheese instead of the blah Mexican blend. It was very good and was able to fit it into my Weight Watchers diet by eatting 1/12th. Oh, I also started layering with tortillas on the bottom to make it easier to serve.

I made this a couple of weeks ago for company, when I received the June/July issue in the mail. They raved about it. I decided to make it again today with corn tortillas instead of flour. It is very tasty and easy to make.

This was very good. I wish the layering instructions were a little more clear. I will definitly make this again. Next time, I will add a little crushed red pepper, other than that, I wouldn't change a thing!

Had to really do a lot of division on this recipe since there are only 2 of us, but it still came out very tasty and we loved it.

This recipe probably isn't all that good for you, with all that cheese, but you can put in cheese with lower fat content to slim it a bit. This dish was absolutely fabulous! Didn't think my picky Italian husband would like the "lasagna" part, but it was a real hit. This would be great to take to a potluck. Thanks!

use corn tortillas and you will cut the calories...as usually 2 corn equal 1 flour tortilla...
