Mexican Skillet Casserole is the perfect answer to the what’s for dinner question

 

Sometimes it’s Mexican Monday,

or taco Tuesday,

and it may have to wait and become Taco Thursday.

Either way it is the kids favorite night of the week.

But tacos or burritos can get boring week, after week, after week.

 

 

And I happen to be madly in love with my cast iron skillet.

So I mixed the two together and got a super tasty, super fast and easy weeknight meal the entire family loved. Surprise, surprise, surprise…NO whining!!
