This Doritos casserole is like chicken enchiladas but with Doritos instead of tortillas! This over the top meal is a crowd-pleaser.
We love enchiladas in our house we also love making beef enchilada casserole and pork verde enchildas!
I brought this recipe back from the archives by popular demand! I took this recipe off the site thinking no one needed it anymore and boy was I wrong. This recipe is for the viewers who have been emailing me the last few months, and for my newer viewers who have not seen this unique recipe.
How to make Doritos Casserole in the slow cooker:
- Start with boneless chicken breasts and a large can of enchilada sauce.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook that on HIGH for 4 hour or LOW for 8 hours.
- After the cooking time is up. Shred the chicken with two forks. Add sour cream, cheese, and crushed up Doritos (save a half cup for the top), stir.
- Place the lid back on the slow cooker and cook for 30 minutes more.
- Add more cheese, olives, and more crushed Doritos on top.

This is a favorite in our house, except I used rotel instead of the enchilada sauce.
What do you think about adding a can of refied beans to this recipe?
I don’t see why not!
What kind of cook time if I use a rotisserie chicken?
About 2 hours before adding the chips.
I made this recipe tonight. I used tortilla chips and cheddar cheese, since I didn’t have Doritos or Monterrey Jack cheese. It was delicious! Definitely a keeper.
Sounds great!
