Dorito Chicken Bake

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
2. Mix Chicken Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, green chilies, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Stir until well blended.
3. Layer Tortillas: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, layer 4–5 tortillas on the bottom, slightly overlapping.
4. Add Filling: Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortillas.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the chicken layer.
6. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of tortillas, then the remaining chicken mixture, and top with the second cup of shredded cheese.
7. Add Doritos: Sprinkle crushed Doritos evenly over the top of the casserole.
8. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the Doritos are lightly browned.
9. Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly.

Tips for Success

• Adjust the number of green chilies based on your spice tolerance.

• Corn tortillas can be used for a slightly different flavor and texture.

Variations & Substitutions

• Add a cup of cream cheese to the chicken mixture for a richer, creamier texture.
• Mix in corn, black beans, or diced bell peppers for extra veggies.
• Swap cheddar with pepper jack cheese for a spicier kick.
• Try using plain tortilla chips or spicy nacho chips instead of Doritos for a different flavor profile.
