I found this recipe in a little local newspaper called The Voice. There was no author credit listed. It sounded like a meal my family would love so I cut it out. I was right....it was a delicious meal and perfect for the theme that Rebekah chose.
This casserole can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Remove from the refrigerator 20 minutes before baking.
I adapted this recipe to use ingredients I had on hand and according to my families preferences. I think you will be happy with it.

This is right up my alley - definitely saving to try soon! I am SOOOO glad you started this group! How long has it been now? We've gotten so much more "friendly" with seafood at home, and I am so thankful. It's quick, easy, and always a delicious option! I love being more comfortable with fish and shrimp at home!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebekah. I'm happy I started this group as well. So many wonderful folks who have become friends.
DeleteBy corn chips, you don't mean Fritos but fried tortilla chips, right? I love a good casserole that can be made ahead. Bet this would be good with chicken or ground beef too but I'm definitely trying your version first, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteYes, I used fried tortilla chips but you could also use corn tortillas or fritos if that's what you have on hand. Any protein works as well or you can omit the meat and add another can of beans for a vegetarian version.
DeleteLove "Mexican Monday!" What an easy and delicious sounding casserole! You never know where you'll find a great recipe.
ReplyDeleteSome of the best recipe I've found have been in small publications.
DeleteThis looks like a perfect meal or a party dish for me, what I like best that you can make this ahead and bake later.
ReplyDeleteThat's always a plus in my book too Sneha.
