This Taquito Casserole recipe uses a combination of pantry friendly ingredients and cheap taquitos from Walmart. The Taquitos (under $5 for 16 from Walmart) are all dressed up and your family will love it!
This casserole is amazingly easy! It’s a great way to use pantry ingredients like rice and beans. Using these additions make a frozen taquito even better. And you can really stretch a buck buying a $5 pack of taquitos and turning it into a whole lot more. Simply add cooked rice, beans, corn, taco seasoning, corn, and cheese soup to the bottom of a 9×13 and top with the taquitos. These are items I usually have in my pantry to it’s an easy casserole to whip up any night of the week!
Taquito Casserole is Shockingly Good!
My 5 year old gives this on a 5 out of 5 every time! And my husband, who is a not a huge fan of frozen food, adores this dish and was extremely surprised by the ingredients. Serving the taquitos on top of the rice makes this a one dish favorite. We like to serve ours with sour cream and extra salsa. Guacamole, cilantro, fresh sliced avocado, or hot sauce would also be great toppings on this casserole.
