I was looking for a one pot meal that was Vegetarian. I don't eat meat, but my teen boys do and they didn't even miss the meat. This was excellent! Thank you!

Really good! I would probably use a little more in the way of spices, but in general it was tasty. I used homemade tortillas for this(my first attempt) and it turned out fairly well. I used mild salsa, might try it next time with a smidgen of green chiles added to the salsa.

Excellent! Just replace the Cheddar cheese and it's vegan.

This was awesome. I added chopped onion and crushed red pepper. I also added more cumin. I will make this on a regular basis.

You would never know this has zucchini in it! My husband doesn't like zucchini but thought this was really good. I doubled recipe...used oval baking dish and baked longer...I will be making again.

Our family enjoys this sort of dinner and when I saw it was vegetarian it was a sure hit for my non meat eating grown daughter who was visiting this noon. I added a tablespoon or so of shelled sunflower seeds for an extra crunch and to complete protein. This was a very quick but delicious recipe for a September day!

This was yummy! I doubled the recipe and made it in a pie pan. I used whole wheat fajita size tortillas instead of the corn tortillas and frozen shredded zucchini from my garden. Just make sure you squeeze out the water before adding it to the pan. You won't miss the meat at all!
