Tips & Variations
- Spice it up: Use hot green chilies or add a pinch of cayenne or taco seasoning for extra heat.
- Meat alternatives: Substitute ground turkey or chicken if desired. Vegetarian crumbles work well too!
- Make it crispier: Add a layer of Fritos on top before baking, but reserve some for topping afterward if you like them extra crunchy.
- Make ahead: Assemble the casserole without baking, cover and refrigerate up to a day ahead. Bake just before serving.
- Serving suggestion: Pair with a side of Mexican rice or refried beans for a complete Tex-Mex meal.
