Ingredients you need to make Chicken Fajita Casserole:

Bell Pepper – You’ll need two cups of red and green bell peppers sliced.

Garlic – Fresh garlic is best in this recipe but if you don’t have fresh, substitute for one teaspoon dried.

Black Beans – You can use pinto beans instead of black beans as well. You’ll need one fifteen ounce can, drained.

White Rice – You’ll need two cups of cooked white rice. You may also use brown rice or quinoa in this recipe for a healthier option.

Diced Tomatoes – You’ll need two cups fresh chopped tomatoes or one fifteen ounce can diced tomatoes.

Cheddar Cheese – Jack, Mexican, or cheddar cheese work great. You’ll need one and a half cups shredded.

Homemade Mexican Seasoning – To make my super simple Mexican seasoning you’ll need oregano, chili powder, cumin, black pepper and salt. See recipe below for measurements.
