Give me a break 4 teaspoons of salt. I may try again with 1 teaspoon because it was an OK recipe.

Very messy to make. Watch the amount of salt-mine came out very salty. Otherwise, GREAT!

This recipe was fantastic!!! I saved a step by not dipping the tortillas into the cream mixture. I poured a few ladles of the cream into the baking pan, then filled the tortillas and placed them in the pan and it turned out beautiful. I will definately make this again!

Oh WOW! This was absolutely amazing!! It is insanely filling though. My only complaint is that it is wicked messy to make. However, the mess is well worth the final product!

Wow, this is an all time favorite of mine. Absolutely beautiful. I've tried it with more peppers - that is good too- but seems best with only one.

This is one of the very best recipes I have found. Very cheesy, very creamy, very very rich.

An all time favorite that we forget about. I like it without the glaze and that just makes it a little easier.
