Y’all know how much I love tacos. We serve some form of tacos just about once a week. The entire family loves it which is a win for me. This Chicken Taco Casserole is loaded with flavor and made with chicken, corn, Rotel tomaotes, and rice. 

Before you prepare this recipe make sure you have some cooked chicken for the casserole. You can diced and cook some in a pan or use my simple recipe for all-purpose slow cooker chicken. Once cooked shred and add to the recipe.

How to make Chicken Taco Casserole:

Step one: Get strarted by preheating oven to 350 degress F. Prepare a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step two: In a mixing bowl stir together cooked chicken, uncooked rice, diced tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, corn, rotel, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and taco seasoning.

  • Tip: I mix the ingredients in a mixing bowl instead of the casserole dish. This will help from getting food all over the casserole dish that will burn when cooking.

Step three: Pour your mix into your prepared casserole dish and cover with foil. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until rice is tender and cooked.

Step four: Remove casserole and top with crushed tortilla chips and remaining 1 cup of cheese. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.

  • Optional for serving: I topped mine with cilantro for garnish.
