This Gluten-Free Turkey Taco Nacho Casserole is a fiesta to the eyes. Easy to make and filled with good for you ingredients, it makes a great weeknight meal.

Disclosure: I was asked to participate in the McCormick Gluten-Free Recipe Mixes Launch as a member of the Healthy Aperture Blogger Network. I received free samples of McCormick Gluten-Free Mixes from McCormick mentioned in this post. I was compensated for my time.

My youngest son absolutely loves tacos and nachos. I think the combination of the taco seasoned meat, all the toppings, and the crunchy corn shells or chips is what makes tacos his favorite dinner and nachos his favorite snack.

Whenever I make taco meat, I usually have leftovers, which can be used to make nachos the next day for a snack. Recently, I decided to combine his two favorite foods into this Turkey Taco Nacho Casserole, tucking some red bell pepper, black beans and corn into the taco meat. After melting some cheese on top, I layered on his favorite toppings ~ chopped avocado, green onions , tomatoes and Greek yogurt. Then, to give it the taco crunch he loves, I broke some blue tortilla chips on top. I love how festive this looks!

I used McCormick’s new Gluten-Free Taco Seasoning Mix in the casserole. McCormick recently came out with a new line of gluten-free seasoning mixes which are certified by the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, and made with the natural goodness of herbs and spices, and no MSG or artificial colors and flavors. They’re also priced the same as regular varieties, making them an affordable way to put flavorful meals on the table in no time.

I think my husband enjoyed this as much as my son if not more. He loves football snacks like nachos and dips, so this taco casserole fit the bill. Any leftovers make the perfect snack served as a dip the next day – that’s what I did ;).

    My oldest son is our pickiest eater… but tacos always get the seal of approval. Can’t wait to give this casserole a try. Getting him to branch out to a new dish would be a definite success around my house 🙂

      I don’t think I’ve met a kid that doesn’t like tacos. I’ve found if I keep a few elements the same and give it a twist, I can usually get my son to eat it. Here, the flavors are all there, just in a different form.

    Jeanette, this was a hit with very one for dinner tonight. It was easily customizable for my daughter who can’t consume dairy, and full of gooey cheese for those who can. This was full of great veggies and avocado, yet had that taco dip feel that everyone could dig into. Thanks for the great recipe.

    Made this tonight and we loved it! We omitted the corn and used 2 cans of black beans. We also used ground turkey which was pre-seasoned with Mexican spices. thank you!
