When you’ve been working all damn day and finally get home and all you wanna do is relax. What’s that? You realize you have no plans for dinner? What do you do? I threw together Mexican Taco Casserole with items I already had in the fridge and cabinet.
We make tacos like every week so it was easy for us but you can definitely tweak this dinner recipe to work with what is in your pantry! Serve with salsa, tortillas or corn chips. A little guac and sour cream too. Makes a perfect, quick, last minute meal. Enjoy!
