     This has become a family favorite. I use leftover roasted chicken...delish! Thanks for sharing - 2/3/12

     Very flavorful and filling. I used flour tortillas I had on hand and a whole 16 oz jar of green chile sauce which helped to make all the tortillas moist. Quick and easy to make. I could definitely see swapping out different ingredients to have several tasty variations. Good job! - 9/29/12

     Made this last night - sooo good!!! I used low carb/fat tortillas instead of corn (had them on hand), and it was still very good. My husband loved it as well (he's not too concerned with his weight, like I am). Definitely will make this again, and have already shared the recipe with friends. - 1/12/12

    Thank you for your rave review!

     My husband and I both enjoyed this for dinner. Could not find green chile sauce in mild so I used enchilada sauce and added green chiles. - 10/29/12

    I use enchilada sauce in this recipe a lot myself.

     I made this a couple of nights ago and my husband and I both loved this dish! I followed the recipe but added jalepenos and I used an entire 15oz can of black beans. It was easy and still tasted good as leftovers! - 7/27/11

     Awesome! my family loved it. made it a second time! - 7/13/11

     Absolutely in love. It's totally going into the weekly rotation. The only changes I made were, I made my own salsa, I heated the bottom tortillas on a skillet (sprayed with no cal baking spray) to get them a little toasty, and I cut out two of the tortillas to save a few calories. Wonderful! Thx!! - 2/20/11

    Thank you everyone! I always want to stuff too many goodies into my enchilada (burritos too for that matter), so getting rid of having to roll the individual enchiladas was my inspiration. Making it into layers, you can put all the tasty healthy stuff you want in the middle.

     Loved this casserole. Glad I made 2 extra for the freezer - don't expect they will be hanging around in there for too long though! - 8/4/10
  • AMANDAHARRIS915
     OMG, I LOOOVE this!!! I liked it better w/o the corn. I also omitted the olives, just because I don't care for them, so I might have saved myself a little fat by doing that, but OMG. Pure delight!!! Even my daughter - who, I believe, is even pickier than her mother! - ate some. Soooooooo good!! - 1/14/12

    Thank you for your review! But you forgot to give it a star-rating as well. ^_^

  • LUNCHMOM1
     this was fast and easy to make, and was very good. - 7/1/11
  • SKINNYAZMOM
     My family loved this. Definitely worth making again and again! I altered it based on what I had on hand and I added sour cream on top of the tortilla layer. Tonight is my second time making this. It's going into the reguar rotation. - 4/18/11
  • REYNCLOUD
     Very yummy..next time more enchilada sauce though - the bottom layer was kind of dry. But the taste was great, the boyfriend liked it too - will definitely make this again! - 1/31/11
  • EMILYRENAE1
     Huge serving! I was planning on eating two servings of this, but could only do 1.5. And to top it off, very tasty too! Perfect with a side of avocado salad. - 1/7/11
  • RENIESSPARKIN
     Wow! This is a huge meal. I'd have to cut it down and then freeze several portions, but it sounds like the effort would be worth it. - 11/10/10
  • CRISTYH1
     My husband and I both loved it!! I only made 1/2 recipe since it's just the two of us. We still had leftovers!! Very filling! - 6/24/10
  • CAALAN23
     This was quick and easy! I did add a half can of Rotel for a little more heat. This recipe is flexible if you're lucky enough to have stores that carry the lower cal versions of sauces and tortillas. If you're looking for a dish that gives a lot of flavor with minimal fuss, this is it! - 4/14/10
  • BLACKDOGMOM
     Love this recipe, very versatile. I only had on hand a small can of green chile's instead of chile sauce, so I used them and used some homemade salsa in place of the sauce. also lightly brushed corn tortilla's with olive oil and threw them in a hot skillet for a few minutes. - 9/11/09
  • SLIMKIM2B
     My boys loved it, though they smothered with sour cream. I found that a little more enchilada sauce was needed. - 4/30/09
  • ELAINE5151
     This was fantastic! I served it with fat free refried beans and a small salad. I'm stuffed! Thanks for sharing! - 1/25/09
  • JENNA684
     Very delicious - My hubbie even liked it and he is picky about casseroles. The only change I would make is to fry the corn tortillas first even though that ups the calories, it may make a taste difference. - 1/18/09
  • CHRISTYSMITH
     very good taste, but was also quite dry. I grabbed green chilis instead of a green chili sauce so that may have made the difference. I will ry it again that way. - 1/7/09
  • SPEDCAR
     We really enjoyed this! One and a half servings was quite filling. We used whole wheat tortillas, a medium hatch chili green sauce, and a medium-hot habenero salsa for just the right amount of heat. Will definitely share this recipe with my friends. - 7/12/08
  • WENDYCARMEN
     This was delicious! My husband and I loved it. My calorie count came out a bit lower using lower calorie corn tortillas and enchilada sauce. - 7/1/08
  • MERCLADY
     This recipe was very tasty and easy to make. I used a 28 oz can enchilada sauce and it was perfect. - 5/11/08
