Notes

  • Make it spicy: Use spicy Doritos or add hot sauce if you want a little extra kick.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave. The Doritos will soften after storing, but the casserole will still be flavorful.
