I get tired of the same old thing all the time, so I started mixing it up when it came time to make tacos. My kids love them, but honestly I can only eat tacos so often. I would always break the shells up and just pile everything in a bowl. So instead of your traditional tacos, I started making them into a casserole. Honestly, this taco bake?even tastes better than regular tacos to me.
This taco bake is super easy to make and you can double or triple it if you’re feeding a crowd. It’s a dish that everyone will enjoy and you can put out different toppings so that everyone can add the ingredients that they like.
