Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel), drained
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for the perfect melt-in-your-mouth casserole. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sliced bell pepper, onion, drained diced tomatoes, sour cream, and all the spices. Mix until everything is evenly coated with flavor. Spread the mixture into a greased 9×13 baking dish and top generously with the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden, bubbly, and irresistible. Serve this cheesy fajita casserole warm alongside rice, or enjoy it on its own for a satisfying meal.
Pro Tips: For an extra depth of flavor, sauté the peppers and onions before adding them to the casserole. Craving more texture? Toss in black beans, corn, or crushed tortilla chips. If you love heat, swap the diced tomatoes for hot Rotel or add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick!
Enjoy this quick, easy, and delicious fajita chicken casserole that’s sure to become a family favorite!
