I came across a recipe yesterday that I used as a template for this one. The original, in my opinion, lacked imagination and a variety of flavor levels.

It comes together in about 20 minutes, along with the 35-minute cooking time, (5 minutes for sauteeing vegetables, 30 minutes for baking) which means dinner will be ready in less than 1 hour.

When putting the casserole together, I recommend using a 9×13″ glass baking pan and cutting one of the corn tortillas in half to fill open spaces on the bottom layer. I started by placing 3 of the tortillas in a row, filling the second row with two, and placing the two halves on each side to fill the entire bottom of the baking pan.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me in the comments section or send me an email.

ENJOY!
