I used Velveeta cheese and, being in NM, decided to use some green chile, too! Tasted wonderful!

My picky boyfriend loved it. Since there is only 2 of us, we normally have left overs and these were even good warmed up in the microwave. Make sure the tortillas are covered with sauce or they become very hard when baked.

The tortillas are very good. The recipe makes plenty, and the two tortillas are very filling.

Wow! Easy, tasty and fast. This recipe has all it takes to be a winner. We ate half, and I froze the the remaining half. I can't wait to serve it again!

My husband loved it!!! For the salsa, I put hot and it really spiced it up. I also added Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese on top along with the topping and the shredded cheese. It was very yummy and cannot wait to make it again!!

I first followed your recipe and it was just to bland for me so i had to soup it up. I mexicanized it I added chili powder, garlic and a little cumin powder and salt & pepper to taste, instead of parsley i chopped up fresh cilantro. I also used homemade tortillas from the local bakery, my family loved it!
