This is a good, basic recipe. I amped up the spicy heat because that's how we like it....I also added corn kernels and extra salsa (no picante sauce in the house)....a good dinner and no one missed the meat.
I don't cook vegetarian very often, as my husband and I both love our pork, chicken, and beef. I was afraid we would still be hungry or feel like something was "Missing" but that didn't happen! We were very satisfied by this meal....I did make one change to it...I put all the ingredients on a tostada shell instead of using layered tortillas to make it a casserole. LOVE!!!!
I made several changes to this recipe, but that wasn't the plan. We were out of green onions so I omitted those. We were also out of black beans so I under great-northern instead. This was still an amazing meal and my husband who is a meat lover even loved this!
This recipe tasted great and was easy to fix.
Very tasty and healthy with all the veggies...doesn't even seem like a meatless dish. The beans taste great!! Would definately make again!!
Very tasty! This is a great Mexican vegetarian option that is also low fat.
