    Incredible!
    Excellent Meal! I used low-fat refried bean instead of the black beans, only 2 cups of tomato sauce & low-fat mexican shredded cheese. I accidently forgot the salsa, but put a Tbsp on top when serving, along with a Tbsp of light sour cream. Held together well & actually served 12. - 1/19/10
