I made this for dinner last night and it was really good. I made a few changes though so hence only 4 stars. 1- I scaled down the recipe to fit in a 8x8 pan. 2- I added some cumin and S&P to the egg mixture. 3- I made my enchilada sauce mixed with a can of cream of mushroom soup- try it it's SO good. 4- I used 1/2 onion 1/2 green pepper & 1/2 yellow pepper for veggies. 5- Next time I'll fry the corn tortillas before laying them in the pan. Overall this recipe is a really nice mexican dish. Easy fast and tasty! Will definitely make again. Read More

Okay. We made it exactly as the recipe stated but for us it just seemed to be missing something. It was super easy to throw together though so it may be a recipe that we will work with and see if it can be jazzed up a bit. Maybe some more cheese and a few other spices with the eggs. Read More

This gets 3.5 stars for taste but because of the ease of preparation and also the 'uses things I usually have on hand' factor I give it 4. I added a little ground cumin to the sauce - it was a little bit bland. Read More

This recipe was great but the cooking time was much different. I'd say about 50-60 mins minimum to get this recipe to brown on top and for the eggs to solidify. Otherwise great recipe. Read More

This was amazing. Followed the recipe pretty much as it's written. I only used some roasted New Mexico Hatch green chilies. They were HOT - too hot for the kids but the family raved about it for days after. Simple and easy! Thanks!! Read More

I really enjoyed this. I did make a few changes though and layered two lots of tortilla and egg then had two another layer of tortillas over the top and spread the sauce over that for the last ten minutes. I added the mushrooms to the egg mix rather than the sauce. Read More
