VEGGIE MEXICAN LAYERED CASSEROLE



Veggie Mexican Layered Casserole image

I meant to make burritos one night but I was in a hurry, so I layered everything together in a casserole dish to save time. The result was this Mexican layered casserole and a yummy go-to dish that is easily customizable for things I usually have on hand. You could add chicken or beef if you'd like, but we eat it as-is! Top with chopped cilantro and chopped green onions.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your casserole a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include zucchini, corn, black beans, and tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Mexican food is known for its bold flavors, so don't be afraid to add some cumin, chili powder, or paprika to your casserole. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as cilantro or oregano, for a pop of flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a cheese that is flavorful and melts well. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso fresco.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole is best when it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooking can make the vegetables mushy and the cheese rubbery.

Conclusion:

This Mexican layered casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's packed with flavor and can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this casserole a try.
