My grandmother always fixed this for special occasions and it was always a hit. It takes the southern zucchini casserole dish and adds a Mexican flair.

This casserole is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for a quick and easy dinner.

This casserole was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll add some more liquid next time.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
