    Frito Taco Casserole Recipe

    It has been a few weeks since I shared a good casserole recipe! 

    How can you go wrong with anything that is taco flavored! If Fritos are not your thing …. then I do have a Taco Tater Tot Casserole Recipe that is also oh so delicious!  

    As you can see I like making anything taco flavored that I can. Do you make tacos often? I feel like right now they are sort of an unofficial food of the year. Have you seen all of the hilarious memes on Facebook about Tacos? So funny!

    Ok, no distractions with Facebook it is time to make a killer dinner that is easy and tastes amazing!!
