Ingredients

1 pound ground beef, lean
1 package taco seasoning
1 cup sour cream
16 ounces green enchilada sauce
6-7 cups Nacho Cheese Doritos, divided
4-5 cups Monterey Jack cheese, divided
cilantro, avocados, tomatoes, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef until brown. Drain and add taco seasoning, sour cream, and the enchilada sauce.
Grease a 9x13 casserole dish. Layer ⅓ of Doritos over the bottom of the dish, (crush them only slightly). Next, add ½ of the ground beef mixture, then ⅓ of the cheese.
Add another layer with ⅓ Doritos, slightly crushed, the rest of the ground beef, and ⅓ of the cheese.
Add the remaining chips and cheese over the top. Cover with foil (tent it so that the melting cheese will not stick to the foil.) Bake for 30 min.
Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Let rest for 5 minutes. Top with tomatoes, avocados, and cilantro.

Notes

Prep ahead of time.

Fridge. Prepare the casserole but don't bake it. Keep it covered in the fridge and cook the next day when you need it.
Freezer. We recommend you leave the top layer of cheese and chips off before freezing it. Wrap tightly with plastic and foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before adding the top layer of chips and cheese, and then bake.

Store leftover casserole in an airtight container(s) and refrigerate for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Add some crunch back in by topping with fresh crushed Doritos.
