I've made this caserole many times...it's a real keeper, and has always been a big hit at Pot-Luck luncheons at my workplace. I put Pace Pacante sauce on the top, and then sprinkle with shredded cheese.

My son and I made this tonight and loved it! We used ground turkey and 3 1/2 teaspoons of Trader Joe's taco seasonings because I didn't have any cumin to add to the chili powder. We used a can of black beans and a can of pinto beans, and added some extra diced tomatoes. We topped it with a Mexican cheese blend and diced green onions for a fun taste kick. Can't wait for our next church supper. I know it'll get rave reviews!

Derf, Delicious! I had pinto beans and I had about 1 cup of diced cooked chicken and some white diced onions so used those with the hamburger. I did add some cumin.This was so easy!<br/>I got a call to pick apples tonight and thought this was the recipe to make! I used cheddar cheese and of course the sour cream. I can hardly wait tomorrow to reheat the leftovers. Our son is gone to school so we do have leftovers now! Thanks for posting.

I just made this for dinner and was excited about it due to all the positive reviews...but I found it to be unedible. The tortilla shells became really soggy,which is bad for someone that is big on texture like me. It also seemed a bit dry as another reviewer stated.
