This was a pretty good recipe. Used flour tortillas which did become a little soggy as expected. It made a huge crockpot full! I served with guacamole and sour cream and a zucchini/yellow squash sautee. I thought it had good taste and have been eating leftovers for lunch with some tortilla chips to add a little texture.

Very tasty dish but my tortillas burned to the sides and the middle was soggy. I served mine with sour cream since I like that flavor. I should have followed a previous persons advice about spraying with PAM first. Would have worked out better. Next time, I may make the filling with ground beef for burritos.

I wanted to comment on this recipe. I would give it 3-4 stars but I made so many changes, I didn't think it was a fair rating of the original recipe! First, I added a can of chicken (we are not vegetarians), then I substituted corn tortillas for the flour because I had an abundance of those. I didn't have green chilies. So, I think it would have had more flavor had I had them. I think it will make great leftovers, as the tastes will blend. I also really wish I had sour cream, because it would have added a lot to the dish. Thank you for posting!
