Notes
I used a 9x11 casserole dish. Just a little smaller than an 11x13.
I love the flavor Doritos (nacho cheese or cool ranch) give this dish.
Variations
- Use ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning in place of the chicken for a beefy casserole.
- Hot Rotel would add an extra spicy kick to this recipe.
- Not a fan of beans? Leave them out.
- Drained whole kernel corn would make a great addition to this simple casserole recipe.
