Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 15 oz. bag Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 (10 oz.) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10 oz.) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), drained
- 1 (15 oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 oz. package taco seasoning
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Optional Toppings
- Diced jalapenos
- Additional sour cream
- Chopped onions
- Salsa
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9″x13″ baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare chip base: Crush the Nacho Cheese Doritos and place half of them evenly on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, creating a crunchy base layer.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, drained diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained corn, rinsed black beans, taco seasoning, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly.
- Add chicken: Stir the cooked and shredded chicken into the mixture until everything is fully combined.
- Assemble casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the layer of crushed chips in the casserole dish. Top this with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and the rest of the crushed Doritos for a crispy, cheesy topping.
- Bake: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly throughout.
- Add toppings and serve: Once baked, garnish with your favorite toppings such as diced jalapenos, extra sour cream, chopped onions, and salsa before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy topping, add crushed Doritos just before serving to maintain crunch.
- You can substitute chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup if preferred.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a time-saving option.
- Adjust taco seasoning quantity to your preferred spice level.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
