What I love about this dish is that it's quick, easy, and a crowd pleaser with traditional Mexican flavors in a warm and comforting casserole. Wow your family on a weeknight with this simple and hearty meal. By using what you have on hand (which is how I created this dish in the first place) you can either amp it up or bring down the level of flavors according to your own taste preferences and what you have available. Another great secret about this dish is that it's loaded with veggies...but it doesn't "feel" like it, which makes it easy to slip past picky eaters!
