💡 Recipe Tips & Storage

• Make ahead: Assemble the casserole (without baking) up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate, then bake as directed (add 5-10 minutes).
• Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven at 350°F or microwave.
• Customize: Add cooked ground meat, shredded chicken, or sautéed veggies between layers. Top with sour cream, avocado, or hot sauce.
• Can I use corn tortillas instead of lavash? Yes, but lavash gives a unique crispy-yet-tender texture. If using tortillas, layer similarly.
