I really like the idea of using pureed cottage cheese. It gives the dish a smooth look. And I won't have to explain to my 7 year old why there are "lumps" in his food. LOL
Burrito casserole?!!? Awesome! We just had Mexican food tonight too. Chorizo and Steak tacos!!
Thanks for the message on Messy Cucina! I've been meaning to tell you that I visit your blog just about everyday and love it. I always mean to leave comments but I do my blog surfing at work and for some strange reason, your blog, Paz's blog and Deetsa's blog all make my browser at work close after like 5 seconds, so I never have time to comment on what I see. And then i feel bad b/c you are so diligent about leaving sweet comments. So I blame it on work and our crappy non-Windows system. I mean seriously, I can't even download anything and I work for a newspaper. frustrating.
sounds good to me!!!
Serfronya, I love the pureed cottage cheese too, it has such a nice ecture when you process it in the blender. My kids really enjoy it. I love your blog! I deal with those same issues with my girls hair. I am going to get my 4 yo in braids soon so hopefully that will make it a little easier.
Darlamay, hey don't feel bad for not being able to leave comments! I totally understand. Just knowing that you all stop by and pay me a visit is good for me! Let me know if you try the casserole! Hey you need to do a guest spot for me on a Monday, your recipes are so awesome!
How do you like that tortilla baker? A tortilla press is on my wish list. Do you think there's an advantage to getting something that cooks the tortillas?

Paula, I LOVE it! I'm going to post some pics this week of the tortillas. I think the advantage is it's just easier to be able to cook press and cook them right there and then.
