This DOES make a ton, and I even halved the recipe! I have made other versions of this, but liked all the different ingredients this one included (salsa verde AND rojo, corn, and black beans). The spice mixture seemed like a TON, but turned out great!

This recipe could quite literaly feed an army, but it is soooo good! You can also do the cooking and freeze. Just assemble when you thaw. Great flavors! Have never tried one like this before.

Great recipe! My 11 year old son helped me make it, and it got rave reviews from the whole family!

MY whole family LOVESthis. Be careful, This makes a huge amount. You need a really deep pan. Or you could cut the recipe in half. The first time I made it my pan was not deep enought that I made it in a 9×13 and a smaller in an 8×8 because there was so much. I put some in the freezer
HOWEVER, it is FANTASTIC. My daughter is gluten free so I use corn tortillas .

Super yummy! It made two 9×13′s and a whole tub of extra rice mix. I took the liberty of adding the taco seasoning (2 packets) to the meat. I also added black beans to the rice mixture. So good! Froze one pan for next week and devoured the one last night! Awesome!

Very good! Definitely will be making again. I halved the recipe and it still was a little too much for a 9×13 pan. Probably would have been better in 2 9×9 pans.

I’ve made this many times over the last year. It is very good. Following the recipe as is, it makes two overflowing 9 x 13′s. But it freezes well so I freeze one 9 x 13 and pull it out two weeks later and just bake it longer. In fact, I made it this week.

I made this last night & it was delicious. I’m glad I cut the recipe in half though; I can’t believe how much it makes! I like the suggestion Megan made about making the recipe as is and just freezing the other dish; I think I’ll do that next time because I’m making it again for sure.

I guess I’m the lone dissenter. I made this for a family dinner last night and it was okay, but not great. There was way too much rice which was basically all we tasted; the other layers were lost to the overabundance of rice. If I made this again, I would definitely cut down on the chili powder and cumin as those two flavors were, everyone agreed, overpowering. I’d probably leave both out of the rice, or at least halve the amounts, and keep the amounts in the ground beef layer as they are. My brother and SIL and parents agreed that PWs enchiladas are far superior to this.

This was a hearty and interesting lasagna recipe that my entire family enjoyed. I took some liberty with the ingredients (used a can of fire-roasted tomatoes and kidney beans in the rice mixture and prepared Goya yellow rice that was sitting in the cupboard), but other than that followed the recipe closely. The lasagna was not soggy at all, despite having some ‘soupy’ ingredients in it. The layers stayed together beautifully when cut into serving portions and the colors were lovely AND tasty! I will definitely make this again … and again … and again. Thanks!

I have made this twice and the only change I made was using corn tortillas and cutting the recipe in half. (The recipe makes a large serving) Love the spicy taste and is very filling.

This makes a ginormous batch! halving the recipe still fills up a really good-sized pan. Took along time to prepare, but that was probably because i made homeade tortillas, salsa verde, and enchilada sauce. Super delicious right out of the oven, but beware, after a few days, it gets to be a little on the bland side. So, make the size batch that wont stick around for more than a day or so.

I halved the recipe also…
It was so yummy…
Will make this again and again..great for a pot luck…servers a crowd…

“We can have this again” were the words my husband used. This is definately a keeper. I did use corn tortillas and ground turkey instead of beef. This will even be our new taco meat recipe! YUM! Oh, and next time I’ll use the full recipe but in two pans – one to eat now and one to have on hand in the freezer!

Dude is CAH-RAY-ZEE to say this is 8 servings. This filled TWO 9×13 pans to overflowing. I still didn’t use all the rice mixture. You could cut the recipe in thirds for one pan.
Also, could use a little salt. Just my opinion, but considering all the sauces that went into it, it seemed a tad on the bland side. Maybe throw some salsa in there.
And next time I make it, I think I’ll just throw the corn in with the rice mixture. It was tricky trying to put the rice layer down on top of the corn. It just kept all mixing together anyway.
But all that aside, a delicious dish(es) that I will definitely be experimenting with and making again. It was a big hit. And I do mean BIG!

We loved this recipe! It did make well over 8 servings… we had a lot of ingredients left over too. I used corn and bean salsa instead of adding corn to the recipe, but still added a layer of black beans. Kids loved it too!

HO-LY crap is this huge! I used my largest casserole dish (5 qt.) and it was full after only half the layers. Had to finish layering in a second pan (9×13 I think) and it was equally full! To serve we just tried to cut an equal amount from each pan. If I make again, I will definitely half the recipe! It was pretty good. To be fair I should probably try again bc I ran out of some spices when making the rice. I make my own taco seasoning (3 of the ingredients included are the 3 used to make the taco meat in this recipe) so I made the taco meat with my seasoning. I hate supermarket tomatoes (call me spoiled!) so I used canned, diced tomatoes (plain this time to err on the side of caution). Those were my only deviations. My husband liked it, but said he thought it could use more tortillas. I’m on the fence. I will likely try again (cutting it in half of course!) possibly making some slight adjustments.
