Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag Nacho Doritos, crushed
  • 2 cups shredded chicken or ground beef
  • 2 cups shredded cheese more for topping if desired
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can Rotel tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 packet taco seasoning adjust to taste

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Skillet if browning meat
  • Mixing spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. If using ground beef, brown it in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat. If using shredded chicken, warm it slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, undrained Rotel tomatoes, sour cream, milk, and taco seasoning. Mix until smooth.
  4. Add the cooked chicken or beef to the creamy sauce and fold gently until well coated.
  5. Spread half of the crushed Doritos in the bottom of the baking dish. Layer with half of the meat and sauce mixture, and one cup of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Optionally, add extra cheese on top and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until melted. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

This casserole can be adapted with different proteins, such as ground turkey or made meatless. For a spicy kick, consider using hot Rotel tomatoes or adding jalapeños. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, but the chips may soften when reheated. Enjoy with fresh toppings like sour cream or cilantro for added flavor!
