Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag (about 9 oz) Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken or cooked ground beef
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10 oz) Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ packet (about 1 oz) taco seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken or ground beef, cream of chicken soup, Ro-Tel tomatoes, sour cream, milk, and taco seasoning.
    • Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Layer the Casserole:
    • Spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
    • Spoon half of the meat mixture over the Doritos layer.
    • Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheese over the meat mixture.
    • Repeat the layers with the remaining Doritos, meat mixture, and cheese.
  4. Bake:
    • Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve:
    • Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving.
    • Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, or a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

  • Protein Variations: You can substitute the chicken with ground beef, ground turkey, or even black beans for a vegetarian option.
  • Additional Toppings: Consider adding sliced jalapeños, black olives, or fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
  • Doritos Substitution: If you prefer, you can use plain tortilla chips instead of Doritos.
