Tips for Making the Best Walking Taco Casserole

  • Use sturdy chips. Fritos are the classic choice, but you can also use Doritos or tortilla chips. Just be sure they can handle the sauce without turning soggy too quickly.
  • Add beans. Black beans or pinto beans add protein and stretch the dish further.
  • Spice it up. If you like heat, use hot enchilada sauce or add diced jalapeños.
  • Make ahead. Assemble the casserole up to the baking step, cover, and refrigerate. When ready to serve, bake until heated through.
  • Double the recipe. This dish freezes well. Bake one for tonight and freeze one for later.
