💡 Notes & Variations

• Make Ahead: Assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate. Bake when ready (add 5–10 mins if baking from cold).

• Meat Options: Swap in rotisserie chicken, taco-seasoned ground turkey, or even pulled pork.

• Add Veggies: Corn, black beans, or sautéed bell peppers make great additions.

• Want it spicy? Add extra jalapeños or use spicy Rotel.
