Unexpected Mash-up of Flavor

When envisioning a new recipe, I love combining traditional flavors with something unexpected. This recipe is no exception, with the traditional flavors of my childhood. Chicken spaghetti casserole was a family favorite, so why not incorporate Southwestern flavors to give it a real kick? The combination proved to be a tasty bite and easy to serve at large gatherings, utilizing muffin tins to make individual bites served with traditional Mexcian sides like guacamole and more Desert Pepper salsa.
