Flippin' Pat thinks it's a great idea to add this new Chicken Fajita Casserole to your meal plan for this week! It’s loaded with flavor, cheesy, quick to put together with few ingredients and absolutely delicious! It’s really yummy served over Trader Joe's frozen brown rice, with tortillas, and the salsa cream cheese mixture makes the best sauce. Flippin' Pat hopes you enjoy!
