Well, I applaud any recipe that contains primarily good, healthy ingredients,especially if it is vegetarian! That said, I must add that this recipe could use some modifications. First, cooking the refried beans with the diced onion on medium-high heat for 5 minutes simply scorches the bottom of the pan while the onions remain virtually uncooked. And yes, I did stir. If the onions were first sauteed in a bit of oil and the beans were then added and heated through, this would give much better results. Second, the overall texture of the finished dish is quite mushy. It could stand some substance, maybe corn added.The taste was there, and the nutritional value, but we could use some changes to this recipe.

So easy and pretty good. I made it with red bell peppers, onions, and black beans. Also, spiced it up with cumin and chili powder as necessary. A really great base to get creative with.

I doubled this, made 2, and froze one for my family to re-heat later... I also added black beans and used about 2x as much stuff for each one. Don't want to know what the calorie count on tht was... It would feed 4-5 of us, there were leftovers. I added extra onion for a kick. It was delicious! A huge hit with my sisters.

This was really good and we also topped with Louisiana Hot Sauce to give it more zip.

I expected bland, but wanted something quick with ingredients I had, and this turned out quite nice. I added cumin and coriander to the beans and onions and sprinked chili powder over the whole thing before putting it in the oven. I really recommend adding at least the chili powder, it really helped.

this recipe was ok, a little bland for my taste (even with good salsa). I would make this recipe again, but with modifications (i'm not really sure what!). But I do like the idea of this dish.

This was ok - good, but that's all. The directions aren't entirely clear, but anyone familiar with cooking will get the concept easily enough. This was good, but seemed like just an excuse to eat refried beans. I would add about two sliced or diced tomatoes to the concoction next time. It wasn't awful, but for 651 calories, I wanted it to be really, really yummy! Perhaps if, while you are making this, you think one can of beans is actually overkill, cut back. That is probably the problem - the beans overwhelmed the dish. But do make this as it is a great concept to create your own dish with other ingredients or variations.

I made this for a quick and easy supper. I made a few additions. Like other users I added 2 cloves of minced garlic to the onion and sauted them both in oil bofore adding the beans. I also added 2 tsp. of taco seasoning to the bean. I ended up using 1/4 of the bean mixture per layer because I had 4 layers...I let the casserole rest for 5 minutes so it would stay together. Very good!

Great and very easy recipe. Next time I will probably add ground beef, just to make it a little more substantial. My husband and I both enjoyed it very much!

I loved this! It was so quick & easy to make - perfect for a weeknight meal. I didn't have any salsa so I used Taco Sauce (med.), nothing bland about it!! I made Mexican Rice II from this site & it was the perfect side dish. Thanks for the recipe.

AWESOME!! So much better than I ever expected! The inner tortillas stay soft, while the outer one crisps a little. I added garlic to the onion, and sauted both onion and garlic first before adding the beans, which I think is a good idea. I also added fresh cilantro to one layer inside and to the top, which looked great. My husband said "This is the best meal you've made." I have also made it for dinner parties, and someone always asks for the recipe. We will definitely make the Mexican Casserole again and again.

Wow this was a really good recipie and simple to make! I used low fat tortilla shells, reduced fat cheddar cheese and the most important part is to use fire roasted fresh salsa. For people that complained there wasn't much taste, fresh salsa makes a huge difference! Will make again for sure!

VERY good...sauteed onions and fresh garlic until tender and then added the refried beans to heat through and make it easy to spread. Made this with Spanish Rice II from this site for a nice, vegetarian meal (although we aren't vegetarians).

This couldn't be easier and it is very tasty, even the leftovers. I did add some minced garlic to the beans while I was warming them up in the pan. Cut like you would a piece of pie, add a spoonful of sour cream and you are good to go!

This is okay because it is so simple and easy to make. Kind of a boring flavor, but that is to be expected from the few ingredients. If you use a good quality chunky salsa, you can omit the onion, but remember to bake it longer if you won't be heating up the beans.
