Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix together shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, taco seasoning, black beans, and corn.
- Spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spoon the chicken mixture over the chips, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Top with the remaining Doritos, then finish with the rest of the cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
Variations:
- Protein Swap: Use cooked ground beef or turkey instead of chicken.
- Veggie Add-In: Stir in diced bell peppers, jalapeños, or zucchini.
- Cheese Twist: Try a mix of cheddar and queso fresco for extra richness.
- Spicy Upgrade: Add hot sauce or use spicy Doritos for a kick.
Tips:
- Slightly crush the Doritos—you want big crunchy pieces, not crumbs.
- Assemble ahead of time and refrigerate; just bake when ready to serve.
- For a creamier texture, stir in a handful of extra cheese into the chicken mixture.
- Serve with toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or chipotle ranch to complete the dish.
