I love anything with tortillas, too, and this is my favorite Mexican casserole now! I had started making this from a source on-line (maybe the original recipe), which used canned tomatoes instead of salsa and mixing it into the meat. I read yours while I was preparing and added pinto beans to my hamb., 16 oz chopped tomatoes, and seasoning. The beans are really good in this. I used the extra large tortillas, so I only needed 2 per layer. The French fried onions added a lot to the flavor, too. The whole family enjoyed. Thanks Lizzybob- Roxygirl -
This was very good. We also thought the onions made this casserole. Will be making it again soon. Thanks for posting. -
Ole! An easy, delicious casserole - the french-fried onion rings make it! The only change I made was to use ricotta, rather than cottage cheese for a smoother texture. Also, I just "poured" from a large jar of picante sauce - would say I used 10-12 oz. Yummy!

Born, raised and living in the great state of Texas! In addition to cooking, my passions are decorating, reading, poking around antique/junk shops and travel (I was a travel agent for 15 years). I used to collect cookbooks, my favorites being Southern Living, but now I have Recipezaar which is a lot more fun. I'm always on the lookout for recipes with shrimp, pasta, or spinach.
