I've made this twice now. It's easy and tastes great.

Wonderful dish. Did need a little more baking time to heat middle layers.

I loved this recipe, I found it also worked well as a dip with nacho chips and as a wrap and crisped in a cast iron skillet,

This recipe is great, and easy to make, and I will continue to make it for my family for as long as they like it.

No Santa Fe creme in 2 stores so I used 1 fat free cream cheese + ~1/4c sour cream + ~2T tortilla soup mix. I also used 10" tortillas and glad I did. Good taste overall but I wish I'd put more cream mix inside rather than on top- it was a bit too much on top.

Great flavors all blended together. I have made this for special occasions over the past holidays, and will be making it for Super Bowl also. Small, black olives work well with the recipe as well as the black beans

Very tasty and quick and easy. Definitely will make again. I did add a few more fresh green onions, cilantro and extra cheese but was very good from original recipe, also.

Couldn't find the Sante Fe flavored cream - so I used Savory Garlic and added a TB of Taco Seasoning. It worked and was delicious.

I liked the fact that this recipe is very easy to make. I used canned chicken to cut down on time. However, I felt like the recipe could use chopped up zucchini and corn. Next time I might try those two extra ingredients.
