Nutrition
No. It’s mildly spiced as written. You can increase heat by adding jalapeños, hot enchilada sauce, or extra chili powder.
Yes. Assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate. Bake when ready to serve.
A Mexican blend works great, but cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack are also excellent options.
