"This casserole is a good way to use up leftover cooked rice, chicken, cheeses, etc. My mother served this when I was a child...I don't know where she got the recipe but it's really yummy and I make it often."

This was a wonderful dish. My husband cooked it, we ate it. We like LOTS of garlic, so next time will probably add more. I also topped my dish with some salsa.

Need a quick Mexican fix? Then this is the dish for you. This is a very easy and quick casserole to make and VERY flavorful. Can't wait to make this dish again. Thank you Judy for a wonderful recipe. :-)

Great dish to serve informally for guests along with a big tossed green salad and a bottle of wine. The only changes I made were to add some chili powder, cilantro, and a tad of red pepper flakes. Forgot to add the tortilla chips but offered them on the side along with some salsa. Everyone went back for seconds. From one Judy to another, thanks for sharing!

The calorie and fat count alone should have been enough to keep me from making it but it looked so good, I made it anyway. My husband and I thought it was okay, but not worth making again. I didn't think the tomatoes fit into this recipe and overall it was bland.
