About Tex mex casserole
Tex-Mex Casserole is a hearty dish that draws inspiration from the flavors of Texas and Mexican cuisine. It typically features layers of seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, bell peppers, and a blend of spices like cumin and chili powder. Often topped with shredded cheese and baked to create a golden crust, it's served over tortilla chips or rice. On the healthier side, it provides protein from the meat and beans, fiber from the vegetables, and essential vitamins like Vitamin C from peppers and tomatoes. However, it can also be high in sodium and saturated fat, especially if heavy amounts of cheese, sour cream, or pre-packaged seasonings are used. Customizing the ingredients—such as opting for lean protein, low-fat cheese, or whole-grain additions—can make this comforting casserole a balanced option. Versatile and flavorful, it's a crowd-pleasing meal with room for healthier upgrades.
