I'll be the first to admit (obviously from my photo) that I didn't make a casserole with this because I was in a hurry and just made regular ole burritos instead of the pie! I did use the veggie crumbles, however, and it was awesome! My jalapeno was, um, kind of gross (coulda sworn it was still good. I was WRONG) so those unfortunately got left out, but the good news is that my husband reacted quite favorably to the veggie crumbles and the meal in general, so this will be making a repeat appearance, hopefully in pie form next time :) Thanks for helping our household wean ourselves off meat!

Love it, love it, love it! The modifications I made were using brown rice and wheat tortillas. I also used rotfl Mexican tomatoes. Delicious!

Good! I simplified mine a bit, though. I mixed the prepared TVP with salsa and spices instead of adding tomatoes and sauteeing, etc. Then I layered everything in a 10 inch springform pan. It definitely needs to bake longer than 20 minutes, though, to heat everything through.

Following the advice of others, I used a 9x13 casserole dish. I have a feeling that whomever originally wrote this recipe just made an error when typing the size of the dish. There's NO WAY this would fit in an 8x8 pan. I made a few minor changes...used brown instead of white rice, used 4 tortillas instead of two, used Mexican seasoned veggie crumbles so I omitted the taco seasoning (too much MSG in that stuff anyway), black refried beans with jalapeno (thus no fresh jalapeno). I cooked it for 25 minutes. It was outstanding...my first meal using soy products. I seriously could not tell there was no meat in this dish. Next time I make it, and I will, I'll probably add some corn and black olives. I'll also use a little sour cream when serving with some chopped avocado. I'm a meat lover, and I loved this dish.

Made it a meat lovers casserole and it was good. Great for leftover burrito ingredients.

This is so so good! Everyone loved it! Only changes I made, and it was due to personal tastes was, used whole beans, canned chopped chilies, and ground turkey. I did use a 13 X 9 pan, can't see how it would work in the smaller 8 x 8. I will make this often. It's great for leftovers! i suggest having some lite sour cream on the side with this too. THANK YOU for a great recipe!!!

I made this recipe as written except I used refried beans with green chilis instead of jalapenos. My family loved it and found it very filling. Thanks for posting this delicious recipe.

This was very good. Though, we are not vegetarian, so it was just easier for me to use ground turkey instead (1 pound). One reviewer wrote that canned tomatoes, plus salsa was overkill, so in place of the huge can of whole tomatoes, I used a 15 ounce can of diced tomatoes which I just dumped in, not bothering to save the 1/4 cup for later. This worked out to be the perfect amount of liquid for my 1 lb. of meat. Also used a larger casserole, which it filled, so do not even attempt the 8x8. Mixed diced jalapeños right in with meat instead of layering. I think sliced black olives on the top layer would have been a nice addition.

Oh my gosh people, this is a keeper! Make a 9x13 pan of it and just cut slabs off of it for days! Each day in the fridge, it tastes better and better. Absolutely delicious and different. Kind of like a Mexican lasagna. Only changes I made was chopped green chiles instead of jalapenos and I made in a 9X13, just laying the tortillas in the pan and tearing them as I needed to fit the shape of the pan.
