This casserole makes life extra easy for you.

As a mother and as a wife who is balancing household work, taking care of the kids, and professional work, it’s really difficult to keep track of things at times. Even if you put several reminders right in front of your eyes, you still get a bit distracted. Thank goodness for casseroles and we mothers have a bit of a saving grace. They are easy to make and super easy to monitor even. Imagine, all you have to do is arrange everything in a casserole dish and place it in the oven.

It does well by itself. And we moms have more time to devote to our children and our other tasks. And one great thing about casserole dishes is that you’re not compromising the quality of the food. Just like this Mexican casserole dish recipe. It’s pretty easy to put together. All those goodness in one dish are just too good to resist!

When I made this particular dish for my family, they couldn’t even say anything. But the look on their faces told me how much they loved it. It’s another point for Mom!

One Of The Easiest Casseroles Out There, With a Southwestern Flare!

Everyone thinks of the word “casserole,” when they think of an easy bake, weeknight solution, but how many people think of that same word when it comes to Spanish food? Well they should, and here’s why!

Green chiles, enchilada sauce, baked, chicken, you can’t really go wrong with this dish. Mix that in with a corn meal base, and you have yourself a well rounded meal, the whole family will enjoy! This cornbread chicken casserole has been our favorite for quite a while now. It makes a wonderfully tasty weeknight meal, and I like serving it with fresh green salad and homemade crusty bread, to balance out the spicy flavors.

Choose the perfect kind of salsa for you, depending on how hot you’d like your dish to be. You can also add even more kick by choosing different kind of chilies or just adding more of them.

Quick tip: Adjust the amount of chilies and red pepper flakes to your taste!

Here’s a new way to eat nachos without the guilt! Rachel Ray does it again, with spicy pulled chicken, zesty Spanish flavors, and a crispy tortilla crunch.

A flavor packed recipe, with tender shreds of chicken, earthy black beans, and full of cheesy tortilla temptation. Although this dish has a lot of ingredients, it’s packed with so much flavor, you’ll want to make it over and over. This casserole is perfect for those days when you need to cook for a large crowd. The recipe serves 6-8, so with a nice green salad and some crusty bread on the side, everyone will be satisfied – and begging for the recipe!

If you’d like to make this dish leaner, you can switch the chicken thighs to chicken breasts and use low-fat cheese. And if you’re short on time, use store-bought salsa instead of making your own Pico de Gallo.

Quick tip: You can add some Tabasco or taco sauce for an extra kick!

If you want something with a little Mexican or Tex-Mex flavor that is tasty but a bit outside the usual options, this Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Casserole is a good choice. It’s also really easy to put together.

Is this “traditional”? Well, no, I don’t think you can call it that, but I do like the flavor, and sometimes, you have to be a bit creative and go in a non-traditional direction to keep things interesting and get out of a food rut. And I know that some traditionalists may frown a bit on the “dash of this, can of that” style of cooking, but it is a quick and easy way to mix things up a bit and make a hearty meal. Suffice it to say that I will be breaking out my Crock-Pot for this again.

Quick tip: Use rotisserie chicken to make this even faster!

This Chicken Black Bean Taco Bake is another great Mexican-inspired recipe for those hectic midweek nights. With a few simple cheats, you can have a great-tasting dinner ready in about half an hour! The cheese lovers in your family will go wild over this one, I think. Granted, it doesn’t skimp on the meat, either. It’s a quick and easy recipe but still manages to be rather hearty and filling.

Though you are welcome to cook chicken on your own, the easiest thing to do for a recipe like this is to buy a nice rotisserie chicken and shred that up. It minimizes the hassle, and it’s already nicely seasoned for a savory, creamy, cheese-rich recipe such as this. I do recommend investing in a good iron skillet if you don’t have one already; they last forever (the one I have has been in the family for over 100 years and is still going strong) and are great when you need really even heating or if you need to do transfers between stove and oven, such as this.

Quick tip: For best results, use a 12-inch iron skillet for this recipe, though any oven-safe skillet will do just fine.
