Really quite good, although I made so many changes to the recipe. I used lasagna noodles instead of tortillas, ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese, and added spinach to the ricotta mixture and included two layers of black beans in the lasagna. Still, the essence of the recipe remained, and I enjoyed it. The sauce was especially good.

I mixed the cottage cheese and eggs with about 1 T. fresh cilantro and blended it in the blender so I could just pour it on the layer of noodles. It worked out great, and the layer of cheese was solid when the lasagna was done, so it didn't make the noodles slide. It had awesome flavor and we gobbled it up at my Superbowl party! I got compliments from everyone, so 5 stars for this one! Thanks!

This is easy to make and delicious! I used recipe #244839 , rotel tomatoes w/chilis and cheddar jack cheese. The cottage cheese mixture seemed too runny but it baked up perfectly. This lasagna had so much flavor - we really loved this - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for the Best of 2008 event

Featured in my Book#237470. Originally reviewed on Aug. 11, 2008. Tasty, easy, and attractive! I added onion to the meat. I omitted the seasoning salt, used half a package of lower sodium taco seasoning mix, and canned tomatoes without salt to bring down the sodium levels. I served this with Recipe#211619. Thanks Mindi Bunch for posting. Made for All New Zaar Cookbook tag.

This is a great recipe - quick & easy to throw together and it really is something different from the norm. I think it would be great with some jalepenos and onions thrown in too! DH absolutely loved it and I plan to work it in to our regular menu. Thanks for sharing!
