I’d like to think that my kids are pretty adventurous eaters. Well, sometimes. .  and when bribed with ice cream, we can usually get them to try something new. I might try this tactic every now and then and especially when I’ve slaved away at something fabulous and I want my kids to try it.

What I don’t have to worry about is Mexican food. My kids inherited my husband’s love for Mexican food. They crave and ask for tacos and beans and rice and now love snacking on tortilla chips and salsa. Like, all the time.

My kids think Chipotle is fabulous. Well, I do love their burrito bowls.  .  .

This dish was inspired by my craving for big buttermilk flaky biscuits and buying some Pillsbury Grands at the grocery store and wanting to mix up taco night just a little bit.

My kids don’t like a lot of cheese (yes, they are really my kids) so I only added a little chipotle cheddar cheese towards the end of baking. I also slathered butter on my biscuits before and during baking to get the nice, golden brown tops. You can scoop up the taco meat with the biscuits or eat the biscuits separately and use taco shells (what we did for my kids).

And they liked this!! They really liked it! Winning right here.

I hope you enjoy!

Mexican Biscuit Casserole

Depending on how you arrange the biscuits in your casserole dish, you may have 2 extra biscuits. I baked these separately and ate them before dinner was on the table.
