Directions
California (Mexican) Tortilla Casserole, This recipe came from a dietitian I know; her original recipe came from Bon Appetit I haven’t made this for awhile, but I tried to include the time it takes to slice and grate the cheeses within the prep time Total servings should be at least six, perhaps eight , I absolutely loved this recipe I, too, left out the olives, as I don’t like them The other review suggested using tortilla chips, so I did that It was crunchy and PERFECT I think Fritos would have been just as good, but I enjoyed the tortilla chips Thank you SO much for the great recipe I’m sure we’re going to make this very often Update: Have I mentioned that I love this stuff? I could seriously eat the whole freakin’ dish of it I thought I would throw a suggestion in there, though, for those who like things pretty spicy like me I doubled the green chilies, and it was perfectly spicy Yum, yum!
