Ingredients:
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this flavorful casserole:
- 1 bag Nacho Doritos, crushed
The star of the show! These chips provide a satisfying crunch and a burst of cheesy, nacho-inspired flavor. - 2 cups shredded chicken or ground beef
Use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience, or cook up some seasoned ground beef if you’re craving a meatier option. - 2 cups shredded cheese (plus more for topping, if desired)
Cheddar or a Mexican blend works beautifully here. Reserve some extra cheese for sprinkling on top before baking for an extra gooey finish. - 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of chicken soup
This creamy base ties all the ingredients together and adds richness to the dish. - 1 can Rotel tomatoes, undrained
For a tangy kick, Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies bring just the right amount of heat and acidity. - 1/2 cup sour cream
Adds a smooth, cool contrast to the spicier elements in the casserole. - 1/2 cup milk
Helps thin out the mixture slightly while keeping it creamy. - 1/2 package taco seasoning (adjust to taste)
Customize the spice level by using mild, medium, or hot taco seasoning—or make your own blend from scratch!
