What is Mexican Chicken Casserole?

Mexican Chicken is an easy casserole that gives me enchilada vibes, but better. It is one of those dishes that if you have it once, you will be hooked. Made with quick ingredients that can be whipped up in no time. It not only tastes wonderful but is a breeze to make.

What ingredients are in Mexican Chicken Casserole?

Mexican Chicken has a special ingredient, one of your childhood favorites…Doritos. You can make it with plain tortilla chips, but there is something about those cheesy Doritos that add that special something.

The other ingredients are all pantry staples, and items you might already have on hand. My favorite things to add, besides the Doritos, of course, are cream of chicken soup, Rotel tomatoes, chicken, shredded cheese, and sour cream.

Ways to Spice up your Casserole

The best part of casseroles is there are so many ways to change them up. A few things you can add to spice up a casserole is corn, black beans, taco seasoning, and different cheeses. Of course, the basic casserole is always wonderful, but sometimes you just need to spice things up a bit.

Time Saving Hack for Casseroles

One of my favorite time saving hacks for casseroles is using canned chicken. I know canned chicken gets a bad reputation. I used to be strictly against it, but I have learned if you use canned chicken the right way you cannot tell a difference. Plus, it saves you so much time.
