The easy Mexican casserole has been a family favorite in our home for years. This recipe is hearty, full of filling and delicious ingredients! Adding a salad to it makes for a complete meal. Did I mention that this recipe is EASY to make?
Easy Mexican Casserole
One way to save time is to prepare this easy Mexican casserole in the morning before going to work. Then, when I get home, I can put it in the oven and cook it. Dinner will be on the table in no time!
Easy to adapt too!
One thing I like about this recipe is that it’s really easy to adapt for picky eaters. If your family doesn’t like the beans, you can leave them out and add beef. It’s really simple!
I should warn you that flour tortillas are NOT good in this recipe. I tried …. and they get too soggy. Yuck.
