Very tasty recipe! We tried the "stacks" first but liked them best made between two tortillas as found them crunchier that way. Good eating, and get to cut down on calories, too.

We used less tortillas because it's just the 2 of us, and the recipe is a lot of food. The next time we have guests I'll try the bigger stacks. This recipe was really good, and it was a little something out of the ordinary. It was also really easy, which is a big plus. I'll definetely make this again. Thanks!

I used the smaller tortillas and wound up using 10 in all. I had 2 stacks. I also used an entire 16oz. can of beans. We liked them, but I think reviewer M. Joan had a good idea to just use 2 tortillas per stack to make them crunchier. Thanks for posting it, we enjoyed them. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.

Excellent recipe. I used grilled chicken, avocado, mushrooms, onions, re-fried beans, cilantro, and cheddar cheese. It tasted great and went well with a bit of salsa and sour cream.
