FREEZE TACO CASSEROLE;

I would recommend freezing the chicken mixture and then assembling and baking the casserole on the day you will be serving it. Tortilla chips can become a bit soggy and if you freeze them and thaw them, they will definitely lose their crunchy texture.

Choose a wide variety of toppings to make this a complete meal. Chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sliced olives, and jalapenos, avocado, or whatever other veggies you prefer and you don’t need anything else!
