  1. This is a wonderful and easy to prepare recipe. Thank you for posting it. I really enjoyed it. I added some mushrooms and sprinkled some mexican seasoning on the top with the remaining cheese. YUM! I will be looking foreward to leftovers for lunch during the work week. :)
     
  2. I made this to take to a party, and it went over really well! I loved the tortillas in it, and the fact that it used skim evaporated milk and egg-beaters made me feel less guilty. I skipped the sour cream, and it was very good without it. I'll be making this frequently!
     
  3. I really enjoyed this casserole! It was rich and cheesy. I used half cheddar and half mozzarella. I didn't have evaporated milk, so used regular milk. Thanks for a yummy recipe!
     
  4. I made this over the weekend - it was terrific! I brought the leftovers for lunch today. Its great to know that something that tastes so good is also low fat and relatively good for you. Thanks for posting this.
     
  5. We loved this. I didn't have cilantro though but next time I will be using it. I used regular 1% milk and did not used sour cream. I added a can of pinto beans and we were both glad I did. If you are doing ww I figured this out to about 4 points.(with or without the pinto beans and not using the sour cream) Thank you for a great recipe.
