My family loves this recipe. When I make it I always have to make a double batch!

This was very easy and good. I chopped up some onion and put garlic salt into the meat cause some of the other reviews said too and it sounded good. Good idea. And I also used 2lbs of meat and bigger flour tortillas for more to have. Worked out great! Will make again.

Never before have I attempted lasagna with much luck. This was tremendously simple and the result, delicious. I used traditional Italian ingredients but used the tortillas instead of lasagna noodles. I added a layer of beaten egg, cream cheese and sour crem. The end casserole received high praise!

I loved this recipe! yummmmoooo! The only things I did different was replace velveeta with low fat cheddar cheese. My gall bladder DOESNT LIKE VEVEETA! too much fat in it. I also added garlic, onion & cilantro. Very good try it!!!!

This was great!! My whole family loved it! I added garlic and cilantro to the hamburger meat while it was cooking, but otherwise followed the recipe. This will be added to our favorites.
