👉3 helpful tips to make your Walking Taco Casserole even better, along with a quick wrap-up:

✅️1. Use Freshly Grated Cheese for Better Melt

Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that affect how well it melts. For the best gooey, bubbly topping, grate your own cheese just before baking.

✅️2. Don’t Add the Fritos Too Early

For a crispy bottom layer, add Fritos right before layering and baking. If they sit too long with the meat mixture, they’ll turn soggy instead of staying crunchy.

✅️3. Make It Your Own with Toppings

Let everyone top their casserole slice with their favorite add-ons—think jalapeños, black olives, avocado, or green onions. It adds fun and personalization to the dish.

Walking Taco Casserole is a quick, family-friendly meal that combines the crunch of Fritos with bold Tex-Mex flavors. With just a few tweaks, it’s easy to turn this crowd-pleaser into a weeknight favorite! 🌮🧀
