This is an awesome dish! I used ground beef and sun-dried tomato/basil tortillas and it came out wonderful. I halved it as there was just three of us and we just about wiped it out. This is easy, fun and different and it's definitely a keeper. Thanks so much Geema, this is already a family favorite!

This was really easy and pretty tasty. It just did not have quite enough spice for our tastes (even though I was heavy handed with the spices and used the green chilies) and was slightly on the bland side. Topping the slice with fresh cilantro, and salsa helped greatly and I was unfortunately out of olives which would have been a great addition as well! I also would have liked more of the egg mixture and less of the beef (we used ground turkey) mixture. Having said that, this is such a great, easy casserole dish that uses items I always have on hand. The ingredients compliment each other well. Next time I will add at least 2 more eggs and cut the meat down to about 3/4 of a pound or so, I will definitely double the spices as well. I know that with those few slight changes this will be a regular in our house. Thanks!

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago. Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here: <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p>
