We enjoyed this. I used kidney beans instead of black beans since that is what I had on hand. I had to use a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes with basil and oregano, but don't think that affected the outcome. I divided the mixture into 2 dishes and froze one, leaving the tortillas and cheese off until baking time. I'll try to remember to update the review after using the frozen portion. Thanks for sharing!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
