Having cooked for 50 years, I am always looking for new things to try. This was wonderful. I did have to make a substitution, as I had no black beans. I used Bush's

This was delicious! I did change the recipe a little. I used canned chicken to save time and my husband didn't notice. I also used Rotel instead of the diced tomatoes. I ended up using way more cheese than they suggested. I did need to cook it longer for the cheese to be melted. I did notice that the inside tortillas weren't as cooked, but I think it was fine. I can't believe how many of the reviews substituted the black beans. They really make this dish and are so good for you! My husband is happy to take the leftovers to work and I will definitely make this one again!

My family and I love this - except we usually make it with pinto beans instead, and ground beef. So, sooo good. It's become part of our usual rotation!

Yummy, we loved this casserole and I have already made it a couple of times. Instead of adding tomatoes and green onions, I used a can of Bush's Fiesta Black beans (not drained).

My husband loved the casserole. I used pinto beans instead of black beans and use regular cream cheese (could not find the cooking cream) Just addes more seasoning like chili powder to make up for it. I also added cilantro, salt, pepper and garlic. Was very easy to make and is even better the 2nd day when all of the flavors have blended together. Topped with Salsa, sour cream and avacados and wow! Great flavors!

Low rating is due to the soggy tortillas, kinda gross how mushy they got. After reading reviews prior to making I put extra care in draining beans & tomatoes-still no luck!

I changed it up a bit, added pinto instead of black beans, used tomatoes with green chilis, and corn shells instead of flour,and put cilantro in with the chicken and on the top. I also doubled the recipe and put it in a 9x13 pan. Everyone loved it!

My husband & I loved this! I used canned chicken and 1/2 pkg. taco seasoning in place of the cooking cream. We also liked the corn instead of the black beans. I'll definitely make this again!
