Turkey taco casserole recipe

If you ask me my favorite type of food, I can tell you immediately: Mexican! I’ve been craving it like crazy lately, so I decided it was time to satisfy the cravings with a delicious tortilla and turkey taco bake.

I wanted to make sure this recipe was inexpensive to make and would have leftovers too . . . which means it’s perfect for feeding a family on a budget!

It’s a quick family dinner recipe as well. My other favorite thing about this taco bake: you don’t have to be a master chef to assemble it. If you can boil water, you can make this casserole!

Your family is going to love this dish and I promise it’s going to become a go-to for your family. It’s perfect for Cinco de Mayo (which is coming up) but you’re going to love it any time of year.
