Hearty Tortilla Casserole image

Being single, I often halve this recipe to yield a meal for one plus a lunch I can take to work. When co-workers remark on how good it looks, I ask them over to try it, then pass along the recipe. It's hot but not overpowering. -Terri Nelson, Warren, Minnesota

I'm not a fan of corn tortillas, so I used flour tortillas instead. It was still delicious!
