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 was pretty good. I like the concept -- tortillas, green chilies, etc. -- but something about it could have been better, plus the texture was a little slimy. My kids would barely eat it.

Delicious and easy to make. I usually don't eat sausage but this was very tasty! Chilies give it a good kick. Reheats well too. A big hit for my husband as I usually don't have time to make breakfast during the week, and this works great. You won't regret for making it!

This recipe has been a favorite for years! It can bake while everyone gets cleaned up for the day. Reheats well in the microwave if you have any leftovers.

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!
