100% would make again

This layered tortilla dish is not only delicious, but it's a real time-saver because it's put together the night before. The tomato slices provide a nice touch of color. I like to serve this crowd-pleasing casserole with muffins and fresh fruit.

This is a wonderful casserole! I've made it several times and have taken it to church functions with the same results- an empty dish and requests for the recipe! I think people like it because it's not the same usual "egg dish". It has spice!
