⭐ How to Make Mexican White Trash Casserole

7 Easy Directions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole pan with butter or non-stick spray.

2. Prepare the Creamy Mixture

In a large bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, and taco seasoning.
Stir in shredded chicken or ground beef until evenly coated.

3. Layer the Doritos

Spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
This creates a crispy, flavorful base for the casserole.

4. Add Meat & Cheese

Spread the chicken or beef mixture evenly over the Doritos.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.

5. Add Rotel Tomatoes

Pour undrained Rotel tomatoes over the cheese layer, distributing evenly for a zesty kick.

6. Top with Remaining Doritos & Cheese

Layer the remaining crushed Doritos on top, then sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
This gives a crispy, cheesy finish once baked.

7. Bake & Serve

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and cheese is golden.
Garnish with green onions, jalapeños, or avocado slices, if desired. Serve warm.
