I loved this recipe!! It was delicious and it froze really well. I did make a couple of small changes due to ingredients I had on hand. I used kittencals enchilada sauce and I added a can of drained diced tomato with green chilis in it instead of the salsa and taco sauce. I used canned corn (drained) and omitted the onion (hubs doesn't like them) I also used reduced fat cheese and reduced the amount to about a cup and a half. To make it even healthier I used mission carb watch tortillas which have 11 grams of fiber per tortilla! I topped it with a little sour cream before serving and it was delicious! This ended up being a low fat, high fiber dish that almost had me go back for 3rds! Thanks so much for the recipe!

***Made for PAC Spring '08*** LOVED THIS!!!! Only change was the ripe olives - I had to leave them out, DH doesn't like them. Other than that, followed recipe exactly. And we both loved it. I will be making this again. My stepson and his wife will be coming to visit in a few weeks, and I will make this for them - but next time I will have to make it without the meat since they are semi-vegetarians. But all in all, it was great.
