1 (13.25 oz) can whole corn kernels, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups Mexican blend cheese, divided

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, mix together shredded chicken, black beans, corn, 1 cup of cheese, diced tomatoes with green chiles, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and taco seasoning until well combined.
Spread half of the crushed Doritos in the bottom of the baking dish.
Pour the chicken mixture over the chips and spread evenly.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with remaining Doritos and 1/2 cup cheese.
Return to oven and bake for another 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Tips & Variations

Spicy twist: Add a can of diced jalapeños or chopped fresh jalapeños for heat.
Easy prep: Use leftover rotisserie chicken for quick assembly.
Make ahead: Assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance, but add the final layer of chips and cheese just before baking.
Freezer-friendly: Freeze assembled casserole (without final topping) for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before baking.
