This Chipotle Chicken Nacho Casserole is loaded with savory Tex-Mex flavor. Do the fairly straightforward prep in advance, and you can have this filling, savory dish cooked in about twenty minutes – quick enough for an easy lunch or hectic weeknight meal. I have to hand it to Rachel Ray; she really knows how to throw down in the kitchen! I love the idea of turning that colorful Mexican-inspired cuisine into an easy casserole. With recipes like this, there’s no need for the middle of the week to turn into a “food dead zone.”
If you are concerned about the spiciness of this recipe, just go light on the extra jalapeños or leave them out entirely. There is plenty enough other seasoning here to do without the additional heat if you are more the type that puts up with the spicy heat than enjoys it. Cooking the chipotle in olive oil with the herbs and other spices for a few minutes before baking it softens its heat, as well. And the cheese blend draws all of the flavors together rather nicely. As-is, the recipe serves four people.
