    💭 Tips For Making Mexican Casseroles

    Don't let this amazing list of recipes intimidate you. Here are some tips to help you decide which recipes will make your next family favorite dinner!

    1. Personal Preferences: Consider your own taste preferences. Do you prefer spicy or mild flavors? Are there specific ingredients you love or want to avoid?
    2. Skill Level: Choose a recipe that matches your cooking skills. Some casseroles may require more advanced techniques, while others are beginner-friendly.
    3. Ingredients Availability: Check if you have access to the ingredients listed in the recipe. Opt for a recipe with readily available items to avoid frustration.
    4. Dietary Restrictions: If you have specific dietary needs (e.g., vegetarian, gluten-free), make sure the recipe aligns with those requirements.
    5. Make-Ahead Options: Determine if the recipe allows for pre-preparation or if it's best made fresh. Some casseroles can be assembled ahead of time.
