Once the casserole is fully assembled, cover it with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Serving Suggestions
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set. Serve warm, topped with sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor and color.
