  1. This had great flavor! My husband did not care for the sour cream in it. More leftovers for me!

  2. I make a similar recipe using corn tortillas. It is so quick to make up multiple pans of it for the freezer. Sometimes I'll also use up leftovers from our taco meal to put it together ;)

  3. We really liked this meal. I have some black bean haters in my house (crazies), but the majority liked it!
