Fajita Chicken Casserole takes everything you love about Tex-Mex flavors—seasoned chicken, creamy sauce, black beans, corn, salsa, and melty cheese—and bakes them into one cozy, family-friendly dish. It’s hearty, flavorful, and layered with just the right amount of crunch from tortilla chips, making it a weeknight favorite that’s as easy as it is satisfying.
The base of this casserole is tender shredded chicken mixed with fajita seasoning, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and salsa, giving it a creamy, tangy flavor with just the right amount of spice. Black beans and corn add texture and heartiness, while layers of tortilla chips provide crunch. A generous topping of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese ensures every bite is gooey and comforting.
