Stovetop Skillet Casserole InstructionsĬook the onions, chicken, and seasoning in a large lidded skillet or Dutch oven, then add the remaining ingredients (except for the Doritos and cheese) and cook until heated through. When it’s finished cooking, sprinkle the remaining Doritos on top. Slow Cooker Instructionsįollow the skillet instructions from the recipe card, then layer the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours (except for the final layer of Doritos). To reheat, simply place a portion in a microwave-safe dish and heat until warmed through. The crunch from the chips will be gone, but it will still be delicious. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Some easy sauteed green beans, roasted asparagus, or a little side salad is perfect to serve with this dinner. This is a super hearty and filling casserole, so I like to keep things light and simple with the sides.

Layer with more Doritos, the remaining chicken mixture, and the rest of the cheddar cheese.

Add some of the chicken mixture on top of the chips, then sprinkle some of the shredded cheese evenly over the meat. Lightly crush the Doritos into bite-sized pieces and layer some of them at the bottom of the casserole dish. Mix until everything is well incorporated and the cream cheese has melted. Add in the black beans, corn, RO-TEL, sour cream, and cream cheese. Mix to evenly coat the chicken with the seasoning. Add the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, and water to the pan. Heat oil in a large skillet, then cook the diced onions until translucent. (See the recipe card below for the full printable instructions.) Make your homemade taco seasoning by combining all the spices in a small bowl. Preheat the oven and grease a casserole dish. Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Green onions, salsa, sour cream, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro are all fantastic choices. You could even use Cool Ranch Doritos if they’re your favorite! Experiment with various types of cheese, such as pepper jack, Colby, or Monterey Jack, to add variety and change the flavor of the casserole.ĭoritos: I like using the classic Nacho Cheese flavor, but it would also be so good with the Spicy Nacho or Flamin’ Hot Nacho flavors – it all just depends on how spicy you want your casserole to be. It adds a delicious, gooey texture and flavor. They also help bind the ingredients together.Ĭheddar Cheese: Cheddar cheese is melted throughout the casserole and on top. Sour Cream and Cream Cheese: These add creaminess and richness to the casserole. RO-TEL: Canned tomatoes with diced green chilies add just a bit of heat and acid to the casserole, which balances out the creamy flavors. You can also replace the shredded chicken with browned ground turkey or chicken for a different texture and taste.Ĭanned Beans and Corn: These make this casserole hearty and add lots of texture and flavor. Substitute the chicken with smoked sausage or kielbasa for a different protein option and a smoky flavor. If you’d rather use hamburger meat, be sure to check out our Dorito casserole with ground beef recipe. My favorite option for this dish is shredded rotisserie chicken. Onion: Provides a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor to the casserole.Ĭhicken: Use cooked shredded chicken. Oil: This is used to sauté the onions and help cook the chicken mixture. There aren’t any added fillers and it’s just pure flavor.

Taco Seasoning: You could replace this with a packet of store bought taco seasoning, but it’s SO much more flavorful when you make your own blend.

Just like my Ritz cracker chicken recipe, this dish is a simple, family-friendly way to serve chicken. Plus, our signature homemade taco spice blend wows me in every dish! Taco night can happen a lot more than just on Tuesdays if you ask me! I love the little bit of spice from the RO-TEL that’s balanced out perfectly with the creamy sour cream taco sauce.
