I'm not a big fan of Mexican type food, but this was great! Even my 2 and 5 yr olds gobbled it up.

This was really good! Husband loved it. Was NOT a mushy mess for us. Will make again for sure. Quick and Easy :)

Made this at home, husband loved it. Took it to a potluck, everyone raved. Use low-sodium black beans if you can. Also I use a whole wheat and corn blend tortilla to make it healthier yet. Two percent reduced fat cheddar won't change the taste either. I add more cheese than the recipe calls for to make it decadent. Top it with light sour cream and you have perfection.

I made this last night and made a couple changes. Instead of 2 cans of beans, I used 1 can of beans and 1 can of corn. I also added a little extra cheese after the first layer of tortillas. My husband really enjoyed it and said that it was very flavorful. I didn't find it to be mushy at all.

Delicious!! I am NOT a cook, and this was my first attempt at a casserole! Directions were easy to follow, ingredients weren't outrageous, and I didn't mess it up!! Thank you!

The flavor was very good however, it really was a mushy mess. The texture was lacking quite a bit. It was just a big pile of soft polenta type dinner. I think there needs to be some crisp or firmness in here. If you were to take the first steps and possibly fill the tortillas with the mixture instead of layering, it may have stayed a better consistency. Also could have used some olives lettuce and tomato maybe a dallop of sour cream to top off.

My husband and I liked this recipe. I cut everything in half and used a 9x7 dish. I mostly followed the recipe, but used chili powder in place of the onion powder and I used more cheese. Overall, easy and good.
