Nearly anything works well in casserole format. Take this Chicken Taco Casserole as a prime example. The spicy Mexican flavors of chicken tacos are combined with melty cheese and crunchy tortilla chips and baked in the oven to golden perfection. Serve Chicken Taco Casserole with Spanish rice and black beans for a fiesta of a meal.
