- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake the Chicken Fajita Casserole for about 20 minutes or until the cheese turns golden brown. Remove from the oven.
- Top each serving with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or avocado.

Notes:
- Feel free to use about 5 cups of pre-cooked chicken for this recipe if you like.
- You can use a greased casserole dish instead of an oven-safe skillet if you prefer.
