I like casseroles (quick, easy, clean, bam), and I love Mexican! When I stumbled across this recipe on Skinny Kitchen, I decided to give it a go with a few additional skinny swaps to make it even skinnier.  The results were amazing! It’s so cheesy and melty! It was the perfect Mexican meal (and under 300 calories)!
