Really enjoyed this recipe. I did make some changes, I tried rolling the meat inside the tortillas and adding the soup and tomato over them, thinking they would scoop out whole, won't go to the trouble next time. Also, added recipe #42094 Texas Red Enchilada Sauce. Really Good!!

I absolutely loved this Anita. It tasted so much different than I thought it would. I didn't think it was hard to put together either. I'm warming up the left overs as I write this. I think this will be a regular in our household. Thanks.

This turned out very well for us. I made it the night before, put in the frig, then popped in the oven and dinner was ready with no problem. The casserole was very well seasoned but like you said, did not burn us up. The layered ingredients was very interesting and my family gave it their approval. Thanks Anita.

Kids did not like this. Was really not worth the time it took to make it up.
