This cheesy Taco Bake comes together in no time and is a family favorite! Add your favorite toppings and have fun with it!
If your family enjoys Taco Night, then this dish is definitely a must try. It is quite similar to “Walking Tacos”, however, this is an all in one casserole dish, so a bit easier. My kids LOVED the cheesy layer on this and we all loved adding our favorite taco toppings. You can add salsa, sour cream, tomatoes, onions, avocado, jalapeno, etc.
The great thing about tacos is how many varieties there are. From fish, beef, chicken, and more…you can find it all! I love a good, classic taco…but I will admit, after awhile, I love changing things up and trying something new. From lasagna (below), to this bake, and even shells (also below), you can find something for everyone, whether they are a taco lover or not!
Are you into lots of toppings? I know I sure am! I love adding a variety of cheeses, avocados, tomatoes, sour cream, and more! I can do without black olives though, haha!
