Notes
Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary by ingredients, brands, and portion sizes. To save time, you can use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken from scratch. Bell peppers can be chopped up to 3 days in advance for easier prep. This casserole can be served with tortillas, tortilla chips, or spooned into tortillas for taco-style wraps. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
