I also used canned diced tomatoes and only had tomato paste so I mixed some water with it to make the tomato sauce. I wanted it to be more filling so I added a can of red beans. It turned out really tasty!

This is a wonderful vegetarian dish! I saute the onions & garlic first then add a can of diced tomatoes. I omitted the tomato sauce & this time around added a little pace picante sauce instead. For my hubby who refuses to give up the meat, I will make seasoned meat on the side for him. Thanks for a recipe that I use often!

This is ver good! I used both flour and corn tortillas since I had both on hand to use up. Using the Flour tortillas on the bottom helped hold it together. I used a whole 15oz. can of tomato sauce, canned stewed tomatoes, chopped, extra green onions and 2 garlic cloves instead of 1. I also added a few pinches of sugar to help cut the acidity of the tomato products. Yum!

Very good comfort food. In order to satisfy my carnivore hubby, I added some of the shredded chicken leftover from Tahiti's Chicken Tacos (Chicken Tacos - the Tahiti Way). Because of this addition, I also needed a bit more tomato sauce in order to keep the filling moist (and soften the tortillas as they baked). The flavor of this dish perfectly fit the comfort level. It wasn't too spicy, but had a nice subtle heat...it could easily be spiced up (addition of jalapenos or cayenne pepper to the bean mixture), for those times when you just feel like more heat. Good weeknight or even casual entertaining fare.
