Do you ever have a super busy week, we’ve got you covered with this amazing Chicken Taco Casserole. We had that kind of week. Our sweet sister Kristen was in a terrible car accident with her family. Here in Utah we had freezing rain, which immediately turns to ice when it hits the ground. All the freeways turned into ice skating rinks and it makes driving so scary. Kristen and her family were headed out to visit us when a semi-truck went out of his lane. This caused them to swerve to miss hitting him. This sent them spinning into the side of the semi-truck. Their car was totaled and they had to rip off the door to pull Kristen out. Her arm is in a sling from injuring her elbow. But other than that, the family is fine. We are so grateful that they are all okay.
An accident like this quickly puts everything into perspective on the importance of families. We held our kids a little tighter tonight and took our time with bedtime stories. Slow down and take time for your family – including family dinner. It’s a great time to catch up with each other and listen to each other and how their day went.
And this Chicken Taco Casserole is the perfect dinner as you have a great family conversation (how did you like that segway into the recipe?!).

This casserole looks delish by the way. I love all things Mexican!
Also thank you for your wonderful recipe. My husband has developed a problem with gluten and I think I can tweak this recipe and make it gluten free and we will just love it!!!
Thanks for sharing this recipe, it looks great.
Thanks for the recipe!
I'm glad no one was seriously injured in the accident.
Pinning the recipe. We have company coming this weekend and this is going to be on the menu! Thanks.
Thanks for the yummy recipe. I am going to try it tonight:-)
I was rear-ended last winter by a teenage driver, my car was totalled and my lower right leg and ankle were badly fractured. I'm now the owner of a number of screws and plates ... not great, BUT I'm not in a wheelchair anymore - or worse. It's been a long recovery, I still can't walk a long way or do some things I used to, but I'm determined to get back as far as can!!
On a good note, I love this recipe. It looks delicious. I will be featuring it on Tasty Thursdays this week. Thanks for linking up. The party will be live tonight. Thanks, Nichi
This casserole looks phenomenal!! I'd love for you to come link up to my new weekly Simple Supper Tuesday linky party!! Thanks
And... I'm loving this casserole!!
I made this casserole this week and would definitely make this again! SO easy and really tasty! The kiddos are super picky eaters. They hated the black beans but other than that, we got a rave review!! I like black beans so those are staying.
I'm not spotting this Recipe in the Casserole section of the website. Maybe I'm just missing it? I have it Pinned so I just go to my board to find it.
