Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 bag (11 oz) Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For those who prefer a bit more heat, you can substitute the diced tomatoes and green chilies for a spicier version. If you’re looking for a vegetarian alternative, replace the chicken with black beans and corn for a delightful twist.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with taco seasoning, and stir to coat the chicken evenly.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Stir until well mixed.
- Layer half of the crushed Doritos at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the seasoned chicken mixture over the Doritos, followed by the soup mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Top with the remaining crushed Doritos and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Mama Lou always said the secret to a perfect casserole was patience—letting it rest for a few minutes after baking ensures every bite is a taste of harmony.
