This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love it and they don't even realize they're eating healthy.

I accidentally used taco seasoning instead of chili powder. It still turned out great, but it had a bit more of a taco flavor.

I'm not a big fan of sour cream, so I substituted Greek yogurt instead. It worked out great and the casserole was still delicious.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover tortillas. I always have a few tortillas left over after making tacos or burritos, and this is a great way to use them up.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the ground beef.
