Mexican Casserole
This Mexican Casserole layers cooked chicken combined with salsa, cream cheese, black beans, and diced green chiles over crushed tortilla chips, topped with fresh tomatoes, green onions, and shredded Mexican cheese blend. Baked until hot and bubbly, the casserole offers a creamy, mildly spicy filling with a crunchy base and cheesy top. It’s an ideal dish for a comforting family meal or casual dinner, garnished with sour cream and green onions to add freshness and creaminess.
