What I really love about this Mexican casserole recipe is that I can adjust the amount of the ingredients based on how I want the casserole to end up tasting. Since Mexican “food” itself is known for its strong flavor, I just have to go easy on some of the seasonings. My children couldn’t eat strong flavored food, at least not yet. This casserole is also really great for potlucks. This is what I contributed to one of my potluck with my churchmates. I was late and I thought they wouldn’t care about the dish anymore.
But I went home with an empty casserole dish! They said it was so flavorful and delish!
One of our friends over at Mom Wife Busy Life has this to say about this recipe:
“I love Mexican food. I could eat it every day if I had to! I grew up in Texas where great tasting Mexican food was pretty easy to find. After moving to the East Coast, it was harder to find! Now I enjoy making Mexican food in the comfort of my own home.”
Tex Mex is one of my favorite food ever! You should see me devour burritos and quesadillas. It’s the reason why this casserole is so very dear to me!
And my husband as well. He couldn’t keep his hands off this recipe!
