I thought this was great. I used one can of black beans and 1 can of mexican corn. I don't like onions or olives so I left those out. This is definitely a keeper.

just want to say again: i freakin love this recipe. i make it all the time, it satisfies the pms-iest of moments & even the meat-eaters dig it.

a) yep, the original recipe has always left me with too much filling, so i omit a can of beans.
b) don't like it as much w/ the corn tortillas, even though it's traditional. i always use spinach "wraps". they get soft & add an amazing flavor to the dish.
C) yes, the "cheeze" sauce is amazing. it is sooooo perfect for making vegan disco fries. i gotta post that one real soon!

thank you, author, for posting this. so ggggreat.

Just finished my first piece and it was fantastic!!  I also cook it in a casserole form.  I bought a glass round pyrex dish about 6 inches deep at a thrift store for a $1 and it was perfect to make an eight layer casserole. 

I only used 2 cans of beans (pinto and black bean) and changed the recipe by adding frozen corn, fresh zucchini and hot enchilada sauce.  I will also agree with others that the "cheese" sauce was great.  It was my first successful attempt with nutritional yeast.  Thanks to all the better cooks out there than me for making recipes that are delicious and easy to follow.  :D

Wow wow wow wow wow. :D I cannot say in words how delicious this was! Like others have done, I also made this in a "lasagna"-style (consisting of 2 layers of the tortilla base topped with the bean mixture--then topped with the "cheese" sauce). I also added sliced olives instead of chopped, so the flavor would stand out more. I added some cumin & crushed red pepper flakes both to the cheese sauce (which was AMAZING!) & the bean mixture. 1 onion was perfect, as were two cans of beans (refried & Great Northern). I also chopped up a zucchini & added it in! I used one 14-oz. can of enchilada sauce, and this was perfect.

Hmmm... What else did I do? Oh! I think next time, I will double the cheese sauce, so there is more for the top--and for dipping chips in! ;) I really can't praise this recipe enough. I served this to my boyfriend & omni parents & there was serious praise all around. We topped it with homemade guacamole & Tofutti sour cream. I can't wait to make this again! And the leftovers were AMAZING at lunch the next day!

Thank you for this perfect recipe!
