The quiche was good, but the corn tortillas were a bit too chewy for my liking.

This quiche was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more cheese next time.

I love this recipe! It's so versatile and can be made with different fillings. I've tried it with spinach and feta, and also with ham and cheese.

This quiche was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time.

This corn tortilla quiche is a great way to use up leftover tortillas and cheese. It's also a delicious and easy vegetarian meal. I added some black beans and corn to mine for extra flavor and texture.
