Doritos Chicken Casserole
Description
This Doritos Chicken Casserole brings together cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup or a homemade soup substitute, sour cream, and a can of Ro*Tel which includes diced tomatoes and chiles. The flavors are deepened with ground cumin and chili powder. This creamy mixture is layered in a baking dish between crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos, creating a crunchy textured crust at the top and bottom. It is all topped with shredded cheddar cheese and baked to melt and brown the cheese.
The finished casserole has a creamy, tangy interior accented by the spicy tomato and chile mix while the Doritos add a cheesy, crisp bite. Serving it hot ensures the cheese topping is melted and the casserole is comforting.
Once baked, the casserole is garnished with fresh pico de gallo which adds a fresh, acidic contrast. This dish can act as a main course and pairs well with simple sides or salad for a filling meal.
