Jalapeno Chicken Taco Casserole Recipes

LOADED CHICKEN TACO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the chicken, salsa and taco seasoning stirring until the chicken is evenly coated.
• Spread the refried beans evenly in the bottom of a 2 qt casserole dish. Then top the beans with the chicken mixture and finish with the cheese.
• Bake at 350˚F for 20-25 minutes until piping hot all the way through.
• Top the casserole with crushed tortilla chips, lettuce, pico de gallo and sour cream. Serve immediately.

MEXICAN CHICKEN TACO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally to break up the meat, until onion is mostly tender and meat is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Add black beans, corn, tomatoes, and tomato sauce; stir until well combined.
• Bring mixture to a low simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Taste mixture and adjust the seasonings as desired.
• Spoon a couple of good-sized scoops of meat mixture onto the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, and spread into a thin layer. Lay about half of the tortillas over the sauce, breaking them in half as needed to make a fairly even layer without too much overlap. Add remaining meat mixture over the tortilla layer. Top with remaining tortillas, again breaking into pieces as necessary to evenly cover the surface.
• Cover with shredded cheese. Spray a piece of foil with nonstick cooking spray, and set the sprayed side against the cheese to cover the casserole dish (this helps prevent "cheese loss" when you remove the foil).
• Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbly and cheese is nicely melted, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into wedges or scooping out to serve.

JALAPENO CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Boil chicken for about 30 minutes. Once done, chop or shred. You can also use leftover roasted chicken.
• 2. Drain spinach of water. If you don't want your casserole to be really spicy, drain the jalapenos as well.
• 3. In a large pan, melt butter. Sauté onions and jalapeños until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
• 4. Add your seasonings and cream soup. Stir well.
• 5. Add chicken and spinach; mix well.
• 6. Add in cream cheese; mix well.
• 7. Put a thin layer of the mixture in the bottom of a 13x9 casserole dish.
• 8. Next, layer it with crushed chips of your choice.
• 9. Then top with cheese. Repeat this until the dish is filled, ending with chips and topped with cheese.
• 10. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until casserole is heated thoroughly. Enjoy!
