Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel), undrained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) corn kernels, drained
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
  • 1 bag (14.5 ounces) Nacho Cheese Doritos, lightly crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  • Prepare the Filling:

    • In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained corn, taco seasoning, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Mix until well combined.

  • Assemble the Casserole:

    • Spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
    • Evenly spoon the chicken mixture over the Doritos layer.
    • Top with the remaining crushed Doritos and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top.

  • Bake:

    • Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  • Serve:

    • Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
    • Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or sliced green onions for added flavor and color.

Notes

  • Variations: Feel free to customize this casserole by adding black beans, jalapeños, or substituting the chicken with ground beef or turkey.
  • Doritos Flavor: While Nacho Cheese Doritos are traditional, you can experiment with other flavors like Cool Ranch for a different twist.
  • Make-Ahead: Assemble the casserole up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the fridge.
