Tips

  • You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Add canned green chiles or sautéed onions to the filling for extra flavor.
  • For a milder sauce, use less taco seasoning and opt for Monterey Jack cheese.
  • This freezes well—assemble, cover, and freeze before baking. Add 10–15 minutes to bake time if cooking from frozen.
