Notes

  •  You can use any type of Doritos for this casserole. Try using nacho cheese, barbecue, or even cool ranch flavored Doritos for a different flavor
  • To make sure the casserole is cooked through, use a thermometer to check the internal temperature. The casserole should be at least 165 degrees when it is done.
  • For a heartier casserole, you can add chopped bell peppers or jalapenos.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, you can assemble it and store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it.
  • To make the casserole vegetarian, you can substitute the ground chicken with crumbled tofu
  • To make the casserole even cheesier, you can add additional cheese on top before baking.
