    Taco Tuesdays!

    Every Tuesday is taco night for us.  We love to make tacos at least once a week because they are quick and easy to make and the whole family enjoys them.  It really doesn’t get any more complicated than that.

    But honestly, our tacos are getting pretty boring.  We cook some meat (chicken or beef), throw in the seasoning and put it on some tortillas with a side of beans.  But one of the things that we love to do here at Bubba Pie is take to take normal dishes and turn them into comfort food.  So, how can we turn your everyday tacos into a fun comfort food dish? I found this awesome idea to do just that I had to share it. Introducing Dorito Chicken Casserole!

    Mexican Chicken casserole with Doritos is a great family friendly meal.

    Casseroles: The Ultimate Comfort Food

    Casseroles are often great comfort food options because they are usually super easy to make, can feed the whole family and you an have leftovers for lunch the next day. We’ve made a ton of great casseroles on this website, like our John Wayne Casserole that is loaded with meat cheese, veggies and just the right amount of spice. Or our Macaroni Corn Casserole, which is an awesome side dish for just about any occasion.

    We like this Dorito Chicken Casserole because it has lots of great textures in it.  First, you have the bubbly cheese on top, then the tender chicken and finally the satisfying crunch of the Doritos!

    What Ingredients Will You Need For Dorito Chicken Casserole?

    • Nacho Cheese Doritos
    • Chicken, cooked
    • Salsa
    • Cream of chicken soup
    • Milk
    • Salt and pepper
    • Colby jack cheese

    Mexican Chicken Casserole With Doritos

    What Is The Best Kind Of Chicken To Use For Casseroles?

    When adding chicken to just about any casserole, I always love to use Rotisserie Chicken. It certainly makes the final dish much more tender.

    Other Ways To Make This Dish

    And, as with all casseroles, there are lots of safe ways to tweak them.  For instance, you can choose between a wide variety of Doritos. Adding Ranch flavored Doritos might be really “cool”! Or, if your feeling edgy, go for the Flamin’ Hot Doritos to add some serious heat! I’ve also come across some recipes that add Rotel Tomatoes into the mix. I haven’t tried this but it that sounds pretty yummy too!

    There are also some fun additional ingredient to put on top. Some sliced jalapenos would add some spice. Or, when ready to serve, sprinkle some fresh cilantro to add some color and flavor.

    This recipe calls for Colby Jack cheese, but using a Mexican blended cheese would also work great!

    Mexican Chicken Casserole is great when made with Doritos!

    How To Serve This Recipe

    This Dorito Casserole does stand just fine by itself, but it may also be delicious served on a bed of white or brown rice. I’ve also seen some recipes where some smaller pasta noodles are cooked and baked into the recipe!

    How To Store Leftovers

    This casserole dish should be good in the fridge for 4-6 days if put in the right container or wrapped tightly. You can also freeze this recipe and it should be good for up to 4 months in a freezer bag. When freezing casseroles, I often like to portion them out beforehand, that way I can just take the amount out that I need to defrost it for dinner that night! Reheat in the oven at the same temp as you originally baked it.

    Enjoy!

      I think the size of chicken breasts has changed dramatically since Julia Child’s day, which could account for some of her shorter cook time.
