🥣 Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.

🧀 Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, Rotel tomatoes, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and all the seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, pepper). Stir until fully blended.

🧂 Step 3: Layer with Doritos

Spread a layer of crushed Doritos (about 1 cup) across the bottom of your prepared casserole dish. Spoon half of the chicken mixture on top and spread evenly. Add another layer of crushed Doritos, then the remaining chicken mixture.

🧀 Step 4: Top with Cheese and More Doritos

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top, followed by an additional generous handful of crushed Doritos for a crispy topping.

🔥 Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Place the casserole in the oven and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.
