This will be going into my "Tried and True" recipes. I knew it had to be good as it was posted by webtexan, and all her recipes I've tried have been very good. Thanks, for another keeper.

Great! I've made this 4 times. My husband also puts pickled jalapenos on top as we eat it. Very good that way.

I made it for the first time last Sunday, and everyone loved it. I had company that day, and took a chance making it for the first time. I would like to try adding sauce next time, so it would be a little saucier. Very easy to make.

Was not sure if I would like it or not but it turned out quite good. I did add about 1/2cup of enchilada sauce to mine to make it a little saucier and to make sure the corn tortillas got tender enough to eat with just a fork.
