Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brown the ground beef in a large pan over medium heat. Drain any excess fat. If you’re using taco seasoning, add it now and stir for 2 minutes.
Add the cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese soup, evaporated milk, and diced green chilies to the beef mixture. Stir and cook until bubbly.
Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
Crush half of the Nacho Cheese Doritos and spread them in the baking dish, leaving some larger pieces.
Layer half of the beef mixture over the Doritos and then add 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese on top.
Repeat the layers with the remaining Doritos, beef mixture, and cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

If your Doritos are soggy, break them into slightly larger pieces.
For leaner meat, use 90% lean ground beef.
Feel free to use any flavor of Doritos or cheese blend you prefer.
You can add toppings such as sour cream, diced tomatoes, or guacamole to enhance the flavor.
For extra spice, add jalapeños or use spicy Doritos.
