Cheesy Chicken Taco Casserole Recipe

	Bemontgomery / All my dishes 1 year, 1 month ago This is a nice twist on tacos and it's so yummy! To spice it up seed and chop jalapenos, then add them to each layer of the casserole. You can also swap Cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack and try enchilada sauce instead of pasta sauce for a more authentic flavor.... More Prep:5m Cook:40m Servings:6	Bemontgomer
