Craving a dinner that’s cheesy, savory, and irresistibly crunchy? This Cheesy Dorito Chicken Casserole is the ultimate comfort food!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 2 cans (10.75 oz each) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cans (10 oz each) Rotel diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 regular-sized bag nacho Doritos, crushed
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese

Instructions 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent.
  • Stir in the cream cheese, chicken, soup, tomatoes, black beans, chili powder, and cumin. Cook and stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and all ingredients are well combined.
  • In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread 1/3 of the crushed Doritos on the bottom.
  • Pour half of the chicken mixture over the Doritos and spread it evenly.
  • Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
  • Add the remaining chicken mixture over the cheese.
  • Top with the rest of the Doritos and shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a milder version, use mild Rotel tomatoes instead of the regular or hot variety.
  • The combination of regular Rotel and chili powder gives the dish a decent kick, but you can adjust to your spice preference.
  • Nutritional information is an estimate and can vary based on the specific brands used.
