My husband and I both loved this delicious and low-calorie meal.  It may not seem like it, but it was a complete meal (along with a salad to get in some veggies).  The tortilla crisped nicely and added a little bit of crunch to the crumble/bean mixture (although the bottom was soggy).  I topped it with salsa, my husband used sour cream.  If you  have leftovers, you definitely need to use something liquidy like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream – else it’s too dry.  Great right out of the oven or reheated!  A definite keeper.
