This is loaded with all the Tex-Mex/Mexican flavors that you love, in a super quick and easy dinner you can make any night of the week.

A creamy pasta with chicken, and all the Mexican flavors that you can top with whatever you like…That is my kind of dinner! Casseroles kind of get a bad rap, but this one doesn’t have canned soups or any strange ingredients, so it is going to be a winner for sure!

I love a quick and easy dinner recipe I can get on the table with just a couple minutes of work, and that I will get no complaints from my family about. Usually pasta or anything with Tex-Mex/Mexican flavors does the trick! I am pretty sure my family would eat Sour Cream Enchiladas twice a week, every week and be happy. Especially if they can get Homemade Guacamole on the side!

This combines everything they love, and the ease and quickness I love into one delicious dinner, that I get nothing but rave reviews about.

If you want to cut down on the sodium and processed ingredients, you can make your own Homemade Taco Seasoning. Great to have on hand for taco night or whenever you want to add it to any recipe.

This is great leftover, just store in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can reheat in the oven until warmed through or in the microwave for a quick lunch.

– you can definitely freeze this casserole. It will last for up to 3 months, you can let it thaw in the fridge overnight before warming in the oven to serve. The texture will be slightly different after it thaws. If you do plan to freeze, I highly recommend using full fat sour cream and cheese, so you have less water and moisture to deal with.

This is where you can get creative! This chicken casserole is loaded with flavor, but at the same time everything is baked, so there isn’t a lot of texture. So add cool and crunchy toppings to brighten it up and add more flavors.

Anything goes, whatever your favorite taco toppings, go ahead and add them when you are serving.
