Chicken Taco Rice Casserole

Chicken Taco Rice Casserole is an easy dinner to make for a weeknight meal. - The Kreative Life

When I’m pressed for time on the weekday, but don’t feel like eating leftovers I try to change things up a bit.

I came up with this chicken taco rice casserole recipe when I cooked rice one night and didn’t want to eat the exact same thing from the night before.

Plain old white rice gets boring to me the next day, so I needed to spice things up for the next day.

I headed to the cabinet to see what I could get a little creative with.

My babies love tacos so I always keep taco seasoning on hand along with all of the fixings for the perfect taco recipe.

    making this dish today using Tofu instead of chicken. I also added about 4 cloves of minced garlic, 2 TBl cilantro, and 1/2 Jalepeno. It smells wonderful and super easy to fix. Thanks so much for posting this
