Cheesy Tex-Mex Chicken Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag nacho cheese-flavored corn chips (such as Doritos®), crushed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chiles
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating the oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Next, lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray. Then, evenly distribute the crushed corn chips over the bottom of the baking dish and press them firmly into place.

After that, melt a generous amount of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Continue to cook and stir the sliced onion in the melted butter until it becomes tender, taking approximately 6-7 minutes.
3
Subsequently, combine diced tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, green chiles, milk, sour cream, chili powder, and cumin in a large mixing bowl. Add cooked chicken to the mixture and stir until everything is well combined.

Finally, pour the prepared mixture over the corn chips in the baking dish and top it with a layer of Cheddar cheese. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted, taking around 55-60 minutes. Remove from the oven after it has stood for 10 minutes before serving.
