Made this dish several times and each time my husband says how good it is. To make it even easier I purchased sliced mushrooms. The better quality salsa does make a huge difference.

****MINOUCHKA -- I made this casserole many time, and it's easy and delicious. I added a small chopped onion w/ the mushrooms, added w/ the beans 1/4 cup of dry wine, a bid of crush garlic, cumin and cayenne, all to taste, and increased the cheese to two (2) cups. It turned out amazing!

This was super easy and very tasty. My package of mushrooms was only 8 oz so I supplemented it with some frozen corn. I used a green verde tomatilla salsa with Trader Joe's corn and wheat tortillas and they were delish in this dish. I think next time I will increase the cheese to 6 ounces.

Made this recipe with a couple additions. I added 1 small chopped onion with the mushrooms & 1 (10 oz) box of frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry, with the beans. I used a medium salsa & a combination of vegan Mozzarella & Cheddar cheese. It was terrific & I had enough leftovers for the freezer. Next time I'll try adding some green chilies & use a salsa verde.

I just moved out of my parents house and this is a recipe I looked up to have easy cheap vegetarian meals. I love it and plan on making it more! Yum!

I made this the other night and my boyfriend said it was the best dish I have ever made (which was kind of offensive since it only took 15 minutes to prep ha!). I decided to add the salsa into my mushroom mixture and just have the tortillas, mushroom mixture, and cheese and my layers. It was so good and so easy! I was able to stick it in the fridge after I layered it and bake it later that night! Perfect make ahead meal!

Sarah made it looks so easy, I made this last night. I used 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms and 2 roasted, diced turnips (trying to use up the CSA share). For salsa, I used a homemade tomatillo-chipotle salsa, nice green color. This was delicious and hearty! Next time, I'll use a little more cheese. Not quite enough to spread over 3 layers.

made this last night with some changes--It was EXCELLENT.. Used Montreal Steak seasoning instead of reg. pepper, used Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce (1/2 tsp+) instead of cayenne. Added sliced green onion and chopped garlic to mushrooms. I agree that a good salsa makes it--I used Jack's fresh salsa. Used Monterey jack and cheddar cheese. Served it with sour cream and guacamole.

This was possibly the worst thing I have ever had and I am a good cook! Almost tasteless, despite adding an onion, a little jalapeño and some very good salsa. I wouldn't have tried making it but was having vegetarian guests over to dinner. Since it was a first time making it, I made a small extra dish to try and holy moly, thank god I did. Had to trash this and make something else! Incredibly sucky! Incredibly!!

Can someone explain how you can put 5 tortilla halves (2.5 tortillas) on the bottom, and still make two more layers out of the remaining 4 tortillas? Also, looks like the dish was made in a 9x13 pan? What size tortillas did you use?

I like it vegetarian style, but no meat = not a meal to my husband so I add cooked ground beef to one half. Ditto on all the good words and agree a good salsa makes this recipe. Fancy mushrooms also add depth. For the 'freeze one 4 later' poster - Do you freeze it before you bake? Thaw to room temp before finishing? I'd like to become a 'freeze one for later' pro, but lack experience in this category so sorry for the dummy question.

I didn't think this was anything really special, but my fiance thought it was delicious and even asked when we were having it again. It seems I will be making this again, like it or not! I will most likely make a few changes. I used corn tortillas, so I will use flour tortillas just because I prefer them. I will try to incorporate more flavors into it also...onions, green chilies, and more spices for sure. I will also use a really great salsa instead of the cheap kind.

Made this tonight...instant hit! SO easy to make! ***Note: I did make a couple of changes. I added one diced onion to the mushrooms. I also drained the liquid from the pan after cooking the mushrooms, onion, and beans. The salsa added enough liquid.

Excellent recipe - easy, and delicious. I like garlic, so I added an extra clove, I also used store brand medium salsa, and mixed jack cheese with mozz (to cut a bit of fat). Also ran the casserole under the broiler for a few mins at the end to brown the top. This one's a keeper!

I cannot believe how easy, healthy, AND delicious this recipe is. I have made it five times already! It's fun to pick a different flavor of salsa each time to mix things up a bit. The leftovers are so delicious for lunch. This recipe RULES!!

I used leftover roasted chicken (both white and dark meat) as a substitution for the mushrooms. The dish was FANTASTIC and I was craving it the very next week.

Martha rarely steers me wrong and this quick and easy casserole is no exception. My mom went absolutely bananas saying it was one of the best things she had eaten in months. Our family loves enchiladas, but our recipe is time consuming and labor intensive. This is not only a faster recipe, but it is also quite healthy. LOVE IT!
