- 4. *If you like a lot of heat, add canned chopped jalapenos and additional spices to taste. **I don't like biting into onion chunks, so I use 1-1/2 T. dry, minced onion.
Tips:
- Use a flavorful salsa. The salsa is a key ingredient in this casserole, so make sure to use one that you enjoy the taste of. A medium or hot salsa will give the casserole a nice kick, while a milder salsa will be more family-friendly.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough, so be careful not to cook it for too long. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still tender and juicy.
- Use a variety of toppings. The toppings are what really make this casserole special. Feel free to get creative and use your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, sour cream, avocado, and pico de gallo.
- Make it ahead of time. This casserole is a great make-ahead meal. You can assemble it the night before and bake it the next day. You can also freeze the casserole for later.
Conclusion:
This chicken taco casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The casserole is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
