I have made this recipe over and over. I have tried different ingredients and it always turns out delicious, however, I added multigrain chips once and it ruined the dish. You really need the corn tortilla chips. So easy to make for my busy family.

We really enjoyed this! Added a can of black beans and 1 tsp. of cumin. Used 3 oz. regular tortilla chips, about 1 1/2 cups crushed. Had no problems with the cheese. The chips were mush, but the flavor from them was needed so I will try them on top. The layers were very thin. Only 3 plus cheddar & chip topping next time.

Better than I expected. My husband even liked it and he always needs to eat meat for dinner! Will definitely make again.

This was a cheesy Mexican delight! I added black beans and pinto beans. Next time I would not add the zucchini, I did not like its flavor when it cooked.

I may make this again, but would have to do something a little different. It turned out kind of dry and the cheese was nearly burned on top. I would add the cheese towards the end of baking. I added black beans. I think I would also saute the zuccini first or something, it was a little crunchy still.

We liked it. I added Black beans and my daughter will not beans so she picked out the rest and ate it. My other daughter ate two servings and my husband loved it. I did not tell him it had cottage cheese in it. I added cumin and cayenne and garlic.

I thought this was very good. It sounds weird, but give it a shot. I will make this again. My parents and husband loved it too. I actually used multigrain chips instead of baked.

This recipe was very tasty, I did add a can of rinsed black beans, and 1 teaspoon of cumin and 1 teaspoon of chili powder. It was very good reheated the next day. If I make it again, Im going to add some fresh mushrooms along with the zuccini. I will let you know how it turns out!
