Notes
For easier prep, make the sauce ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the casserole.
No need to crush the Doritos. It actually works best with larger pieces.
Experiment with different Doritos varieties and cheeses!
To avoid drying out, don't over bake. If you feel you didn't over bake but it comes out drier than you would like, increase the amount of tomato sauce next time.
Top with avocado slices, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, pico de gallo, jalapeno slices, cilantro, or a combination of these. There's lot you can do with this recipe to mix it up!
