Thanks!.:)

I made a recipe similar to this one tonight for supper. The recipe I had used salsa in place of the pepper and onion mixture. I was not able to get 7 tortillas into the pie plate. I ended up putting only 4 tortillas and put more of the bean mixture in between each layer. Did anyone else have that problem or did I do something wrong?

It was pretty tasty even with less tortillas though. I think I would have needed to use hot salsa instead of mild though because it needed a bit more kick to it.
