Low Fat Tortilla Casserole (Vegetarian)

"From our local newspaper. You can use black beans or pinto beans instead. You can use stewed tomatoes instead of the diced. You can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. Likewise, you can substitute any kind of hard cheese."

  1. Picked this recipe because it was fast and easy (sometimes you just need recipes like that). My local grocery store is unreliable and I could only find flour tortillas and pinto beans (preferred over kidney or black beans) in a Tex-Mex sauce. It made no difference; this casserole was absolutely great! I only used 5 small four tortillas instead of the 8 (3 on bottom, 2 in the middle). My BF and I both had seconds, and we finished about 2/3 of the recipe in one evening as a 1-dish meal. Looking forward to leftovers. Try this, I think you'll love it and I will definitely be making this again! Only one minor criticism; I think this needs more like 20-25 minutes to become hot and bubbly, and I was careful to preheat oven for 15 minutes beforehand:D Thanks!
     
  2. I'm giving this 3 stars for ease of prep. but I found it very bland, maybe the 1 t. of taco seasoning should not be optional, but since it was I didn't use it. Maybe the cheese should be extra sharp...whatever it needs I'm not going to make it again to find out.
     
  3. This was soooo good. Very simple to throw together. Only one bowl needed to mix everything. Loved the scallions in it. Did add homemade salsa to mix along with some garlic powder. Will definitely be making this often.

I'm a psychotherapist who decided to start cooking creatively after years of resistance. I cook primarily vegetarian but cook with other ingredients when my family complains too much. I'm the mother of 3 sons, two of whom are grown, and I've been married since 1978. I cringe when I think back on the cooking my poor husband valliantly endured when we were first married. I collect cookbooks and frequent the thrift shops in my area for unusual finds. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
