Easy Taco Casserole

Right now I’m going to tell you how good is this easy casserole taco. I love Mexican food. Cilantro, jalapeno and avocado comes to my mind. I’ve made my easy taco casserole meatless with lots of rice and beans. I added a great amount of cilantro and lots of mozzarella cheese.

I developed my “Mexican Food” obsession in USA where I used live for 15 years. I don’t really like to try new foods but I just gave it a try one day and I didn’t look back. When I was growing up in Europe I didn’t have an opportunity to try different cuisines. So, when I moved to USA I was so amazed how many cultures this country has. Lots of different cuisines and people from all over the world.

I loved going to my favorite Chipotle place to order my burrito bowl. I miss it now, because in the city where I live there is no Chipotle.. it’s sad. But maybe someday they will come to my city:) For now I have to move my imagination and create dishes like easy taco casserole or crock pot chili. There are many Mexican spices and sauces in the store so I can spend some time in my kitchen and make Mexican dish by myself.

I’ll tell you I was very amazed how this easy taco casserole came out. It was very good. Perfect amount of sauce, lots of cilantro and accurate spiciness.
