Has any body figured out how to keep the tortilla's from Turning to mush, next time I'm going to double the tortilla's on each layer?
You can try briefly frying them in hot oil before assembling the recipe. Haven't tested it but it may help keep them from absorbing as much of the liquid.

It's quite good but like everyone else the corn tortillas just disappered so you can maybe just omit them since they don't really do much. I use a tbsp of cumin not the 1 1/2 called for and I thought that worked ok but I do love cumin in mexican style cooking. I also used spicy salsa to give it more flavor since the amount of toamtoes might make it bland. next time I'd just cook all the ingredients without the torillas and then maybe just scoop it out into tortillas to eat? might be good that way too.

This recipe made way more than 4 servings. The tortillaz virtually disappeared after cooking although the flavor was there. I didn't use as much cumin as called for but both my husband and I thought it was tasty. It was a nice vegan recipe with flavor.

This recipe can be great with a few changes and less cooking time. Firstly, use diced tomatoes with mild chiles instead of the crushed and skip the green chiles. Use 2-3 cloves garlic instead of the powdered. Add 1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro, and use about 3/4 c shredded cheddar in each layer, between the sauce and the tortillas. End with cheese, then sprinkle with 2-3 T chopped cilantro. Cook on low for 3 hours.

I believe too much cumin is called for. Also, when done, you don't notice the tortillas at all. It just seemed to need more flavor other than tomatos and cumin. Melting cheese on top helped a little.
