Notes

Tips

  • Use frozen chicken taquitos straight from the box. There's no need to thaw before baking.
  • Add extra enchilada sauce if you like your casserole a little saucier.
  • Sprinkle a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese for more flavor and melt.
Storage & Make Ahead
  • Assemble the casserole up to a day ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the taquitos crisp.
