Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained well
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro and pickled jalapeños, for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, mix the chicken, soup, sour cream, tomatoes, 1/2 cup cheese, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and 3/4 cup crushed Doritos until combined.
  2. Spread the filling into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the remaining 3/4 cup crushed Doritos.
  3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges bubble and the cheese melts.
  4. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, then scoop onto plates. Garnish with cilantro and jalapeños if you like.

Notes

If you want a thicker topping, add an extra handful of crushed chips before baking. For a spicier casserole, toss a minced chipotle pepper into the filling or use pepper jack cheese instead of the blend.
