    I used a Taco Bell seasoning pack instead of the picante, and I also added in a can of Ranch Styles Beans and a can of Rotel, and I topped it of with sour cream, picante, and sliced avocado. Absolutely Scrumptious!! It is also good with flour tortillas!!

  • Not too bad....

    The first time I made this I followed the recipe to a "T" and it was very sloppy and messy. The second time I made it I used taco seasoning instead of all the salsa and it was FANTASTIC. If I make it again, I will definitely skip the salsa. Otherwise it is a great recipe!

  • Yum!

    This was easy and delicious! I doubled the onions, added garlic and ground red pepper, and left out the green peppers and olives. I thought by the picture that the tortillas were going to be firm, but they got soft, more like a tamale. If you don\'t let it cool, it will not form squares and will be more like a goulash consistancy. Mine was moister than the picture, but has definately been added to my recipe book!

    This is a great recipe. I have done this receipe several times and I Love It. I use a blend of cheeses to top off the Mexican Lasagna.

  • I WILL MAKE FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN

    But instead of cottage cheese (which I loathe), I would use low fat ricotta and I would also use a Kraft Mexican Mix cheeses, also no olives for me, but everything else works!
