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!

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.
