Taco casserole is a flavorful, layered dish inspired by Mexican-American cuisine, combining classic taco ingredients in a convenient, baked format. Typically crafted with seasoned ground beef or turkey, black beans, diced tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers, it’s layered with tortilla chips or soft tortillas and topped with melted cheese. Optional additions include corn, jalapeños, or avocado for extra texture and taste. While taco casserole provides a hearty source of protein and fiber from the beans and vegetables, it can also be high in calories due to the cheese and chips. Healthier adaptations include using lean proteins, whole-grain tortillas, reduced-fat cheese, and adding more vegetables. This dish is customizable to suit various dietary preferences, offering a warm, vibrant, and satisfying meal that celebrates the rich flavors of taco night.
