  • Spread approximately 1 1/2 cup of the beef mixture evenly on top.
  • Then sprinkle on 1/2 cup cheese.
  • Repeat with 2 more layers and top with the last tortilla.

"I followed this recipe almost exactly. The only change I made was using black beans instead of garbonzo beans. It was really, really good. Even my youngest who doesn't like meat, ate this without too much fuss."

"We adjusted this a bit for the kids, we used black beans, left out the spinach, and skipped the spicy stuff but it was a huge hit and tasted great!!!"

"I made this last night and it was a hit. I used red pepper instead of the garbanzo beans. The cilantro and sour cream are perfect toppings."
