When my friends had a Mexican themed potluck party at their house, I made this casserole to take with me. Everyone enjoyed a small sample, and then went back for more. By the end of the night the pan was cleared right out. A lot of the ladies even asked me for a copy of the recipe. I told them how even my picky little ones loved it and they all went home to try it on their kids. All I have gotten is good feedback ever since. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Group Recipes:

This recipe does require a bit of time in the kitchen so it’s not the best for busy weekdays. It’s something to look forward to on the weekend though for sure!
