    I made this for dinner tonight it was terrific. I didn’t have sour cream so I used onion dip. Added a little more cheese to the top and then broiled it for a bit. It was a hit with the family. Love your recipes.

    This recipe was simple and delicious! Next time might add some crushed chips on top to give a little crunch.

    Tried this today and it was fantastic! Only mistake I made was not buying enough corn tortillas so I only had two layers. I added corn and black beans as well. Next time I will make three layers and it will be even better!! Loved it, thanks for sharing.
