Yum, this was fantastic. I also used black beans and scaled the recipe down a bit, but it was wonderful. I did use flour tortillas and they seemed to melt into the mixture. I may just skip them next time and serve it wrapped in warmed tortillas.

I gave the recipe 4 stars because I agree that the recipe was a little too soupy. However, the leftovers did stiffen up a bit and stayed that way once re-heated. I also used black beans, and added a can of corn. I like a kick of spice so I added some hot sauce on top of my serving. The flavor was very good, so I will probably make this recipe again and just cut back on the sour cream.

This was very good and easy to make. Because I was cooking this for just my husband and me, I knew there would be leftovers (and actually I think I preferred this meal when reheating it!). Because I read some reviews about the flour tortilla getting soggy (especially with left over portions), I omitted the tortillas while baking, and then we took the end result and wrapped them in tortillas for dinner. This is also very good with corn tortilla chips instead of the flour tortillas. My husband preferred the flour tortillas while I preferred the corn chips. By omitting the flour tortillas in the casserole itself, he can eat his portion with what he likes and I can eat mine with the corn chips! :)
