Let's get loco with Doritos Taco Bake

With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner I thought I would get in the spirit with this taco casserole. It's kinda like a Doritos Locos Taco in casserole form, but with enchilada sauce...because I couldn't decide between tacos and enchiladas, but I knew I wanted the Doritos...so yeah, this is what I came up with! I've made different versions in the past, and they always go over well with the kiddoes. Because, duhhh, it has Doritos!

Doritos Taco Bake

1 lb. lean ground beef (or turkey)
1 packet taco seasoning (plus amount of water called for on packet)
1 (10 oz.) can Enchilada Sauce
1 (10 oz) can cream of chicken soup (I like this homemade version)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
2 cups Mexican Blend cheese, shredded (or your favorite cheese)
approx. 3/4 of 11 oz bag Doritos, coarsely crushed
  • Pre-heat oven to 350. 
  • Cook ground beef in skillet on medium high heat until cooked through, breaking into small pieces as it cooks. 
  • Drain hamburger if needed and combine with water and taco seasoning and cook as directed on packet.
  • Once the seasoned meat is done, add 1 cup of cheese, the cream of chicken soup, yogurt, and enchilada sauce to the meat. Stir to combine. 
  • In a lightly sprayed 9 x 13 casserole dish, add the meat mixture. Top with remaining cheese and cover with crushed Doritos.
  • Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Remove cover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes. (This is optional, I just like to have the Doritos nice and crispy on top.)
  • Serve with desired toppings such as lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, etc.

  1. I couple of weeks ago I was at Target and saw the Doritos and I was like "Why have I not purchased a bag of these delightful snacks in so long?" So I bought some and got home and by the next morning they were gone. That's when I remembered why I don't buy them :) But I could probably be persuaded to get some to make this. It looks really good!
