The BEST Mexican Chicken Casserole with Tortilla Chips
Anyone else love a good and easy Mexican casserole? This Mexican Chicken Casserole is not only super delicious, it is super easy to throw together! It was a great change to taco night. We loved all the flavors in this dish! Chicken, beans, diced tomatoes and green chiles, taco seasoning, tortilla chips and CHEESE!!! Comfort food at its best! This Mexican Chicken Casserole recipe is definitely going into the regular dinner rotation.
How to Make Mexican Chicken Casserole with Tortilla Chips
This Mexican Chicken Casserole is super easy to make. Just mix all the ingredients together and layer with tortilla chips in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Top the casserole with cheese and you are ready to bake.I used some chopped rotisserie chicken (my secret weapon) and this was ready for the oven before it was preheated. WooHoo!! If you aren't buying rotisserie chickens at Costco or Sam's you are really missing out. They are my #1 timesaver for easy weeknight casseroles! I always have at least two pulled chickens in the freezer.
There is a little kick from a can of diced tomatoes and green chiles. If you are serving this to kids, just make sure to grab a can of the mild diced tomatoes and green chiles. You could even just use a can of diced tomatoes or leave them out all together.
Can I use Doritos in this Mexican Chicken Casserole?
Absolutely! You can use plain tortilla chips or Doritos. I think Cool Ranch Doritos might be good in this Mexican Chicken Casserole too. I have a serious weakness for Doritos, so I will take any opportunity to add them to dinner!
What to Serve with this Mexican Chicken Casserole
