  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions and any optional toppings. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and creamier texture.’, ‘Don’t over-crush the Doritos for a mix of crumbs and larger pieces.’, ‘Adjust the spice level with mild taco seasoning or add cayenne pepper for extra heat.’, ‘Leftover chicken works great, such as rotisserie or grilled chicken.’, ‘You can assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it. Bake fresh before serving.’]
