     Wait.....1 portion is 1/4 of a 13x9" pan? That's huge.....are the calculations correct? (says makes 4 servings). Please clarify. - 3/4/13

    Yes, that is correct. The portions are quite large, but you're mostly eating vegetables. :)

     So yummy! Instead of chipotle salsa which tends to be high in sodium, I used no salt diced tomatoes and added chipotle powder. I also added some serranos for some heat. And since I don't use regular corn tortillas I used a sprouted grain one instead. Will definitely be making this again. - 6/9/13

     I would not intend to change a recipe, but did not have all the ingredients. Subbed Marinara sauce for tomato sauce, ground cumin for cumin seeds, salsa with black beans and corn for chipotle salsa, queso blanco for cheese. It was GREAT. Wanted to eat 2 portions, but have learned some control!

     I made it with the nutritional yeast instead of the cheese. Carnivore DH didn't know the difference. lol - 3/3/13

     I made this tonight, following the recipe as closely as I could - I was, perhaps, a little short on kale. It was delicious! At first cutting into it it was a bit watery, but it firmed up quickly. Lots of flavor, plenty filling, and fits right into my diet ideals. Also easy to make. Thanks! - 7/22/13

    Thanks! - 3/7/13

     I made this for dinner tonight and was very surprised by how good it is. I did change a couple of things: I put a packet of taco seasoning in the tomato sauce and salsa. I used green onions. And I added an additional 1/4 cup of cheese. Even my 6-year-old gobbled it up. - 3/5/13

     Love, love, love. The first time, I made this exactly as indicated with the exception of fire roasted diced tomatoes in place of tomato sauce and spinach instead of kale and omitted the cheese. I loved it, but made it again and added a can of corn to give it some sweetness. Absolutely delicious. - 7/15/13

     didn't have kale so thawed frozen spinach. Very good. - 3/13/13

     I added some ground turnkey and used mixed greens instead of just kale. I LOVED it. This is really yummy. I will be making it often. Hubby liked it too! - 9/6/14

     Made this a few times. The leftovers are good cold, put inside flour tortillas with some avacado, possibly, and take as an office lunch! We are always trying to find vegan ideas for lunch besides hummus sandwiches. No microwave at the office :( Very healthy, too. No cholesterol if you use the yeast. - 8/20/13

     sooo delicious! I added some corn and bell peppers to the mix and didn't let it cook as long so the vegetables were still a little uncooked, but WOW, my vegetarian friend begged me to make this again! definitely going to be making this again and again!! - 3/14/13

     This was very good and easy to prepare for a quick dinner. I added a diced jalapeno and some black olives. Use fat free shredded cheese. I'll mkae this again - 3/10/13

     Didn't try this yet because I don't like Kale. Would it work with Spinach or Romaine or other greens? - 3/3/13

    Reply from STEPFANIER (3/14/13)
    Yes, you could use spinach or another green that holds up well when cooked (collards, mustard greens, etc). Romaine would get limp, I think.

     I bought the ingredients this morning and we will be having it for supper. It sounds wonderful. I am using the shredded cheddar instead of the yeast. - 3/1/13
  • DMSGLASS
     Will definitely be trying this one soon!! Not only is it vegan it's also GF if you make your own chipotle salsa - 3/1/13
  • SWEETENUFGILL
     I tried to divide the recipe by 2 at least - and didn't know how much kale is in a bag of Fresh Express Baby Kale Mix so had to use my own judgement on that. It's dead simple - just layer it all in the order that the ingredients are given. Now I know how it works I will repeat this! - 8/28/15

     Pretty good and easy. My carnivores at home said it needed meat, but I thought it was good without. - 4/2/13
