This was a big hit with the family. But I must admit, I went way off recipe with it too. I added some leftover london broil diced into small bite size pieces... added twice the amount of beans, extra sauce and cheese, Maybe next time I'll even add more onion, some red pepper, a small bag or corn, or whatever is in the fridge. This is a great recipe for leftovers. Cooked it in a 13x9. Layered it thick. And it was SUPER YUMMY. Definitely a keeper. Thanks.

Good casserole. I used a 15 oz can of tomato sauce, doubled the garlic, and added just a bit of cayenne pepper and 1/4 tsp sugar (to cut the acidity of the tomatoes) all of which I would do again. Black olives would be good in this. Beef would also be good, but DH didn't even notice the lack of meat which is unusual for him with a meatless dish. Thanks for sharing.

This is ver good! I used both flour and corn tortillas since I had both on hand to use up. Using the Flour tortillas on the bottom helped hold it together. I used a whole 15oz. can of tomato sauce, canned stewed tomatoes, chopped, extra green onions and 2 garlic cloves instead of 1. I also added a few pinches of sugar to help cut the acidity of the tomato products. Yum!

Very good comfort food. In order to satisfy my carnivore hubby, I added some of the shredded chicken leftover from Tahiti's Chicken Tacos (Chicken Tacos - the Tahiti Way). Because of this addition, I also needed a bit more tomato sauce in order to keep the filling moist (and soften the tortillas as they baked). The flavor of this dish perfectly fit the comfort level. It wasn't too spicy, but had a nice subtle heat...it could easily be spiced up (addition of jalapenos or cayenne pepper to the bean mixture), for those times when you just feel like more heat. Good weeknight or even casual entertaining fare.
