Fajita Chicken Casserole

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2️⃣ Sauté veggies:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add onions and bell peppers, season with fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp.

3️⃣ Combine casserole ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, mix cooked chicken, sautéed veggies, rice, sour cream, salsa, and half of the cheese.

4️⃣ Assemble:

  • Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

5️⃣ Bake:

  • Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

6️⃣ Serve:

  • Top with optional garnishes like cilantro, avocado, or extra salsa. Serve with tortilla chips or warm tortillas. 🌮

💡 Tips & Variations:

  • Add black beans or corn for extra texture and flavor.
  • Use cream cheese instead of sour cream for a creamier version.
  • Make it spicy with jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • For a low-carb version, skip the rice and add extra veggies.

Would you like me to make a shortcut version that uses only one bowl and a baking dish for super easy cleanup?
