  2. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or sliced avocado.
  3. Serve hot and enjoy the spicy, cheesy goodness!

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a side of Mexican rice or refried beans for a complete meal.
  • Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas for a DIY taco bar experience.
  • Add a simple green salad or roasted veggies for a balanced plate.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Adjust Spice Levels: Use mild Rotel tomatoes or omit the jalapeños if you prefer less heat.
  • Make It Vegetarian: Swap the ground beef for sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, or a plant-based meat substitute.
  • Use Homemade Taco Seasoning: Combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper for a fresher flavor.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the casserole up to a day in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
