Doritos Locos Taco Casserole

Doritos Locos Taco Casserole

At one point in history Taco Bell removed their Doritos Locos Tacos from their menu. But, after the uproar from the community they swiftly put it back on. So, I decided to turn the Doritos Locos Tacos into a casserole and let me tell you it is wildly delicious! The best way to serve this after you make your masterpiece is topped with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, Taco Bell hot sauce, sour cream, and you are going to turn it into a taco salad. Even though there are doritos baked into this casserole instead of serving it with a fork, give a side of doritos to scoop up this taco casserole salad and oh baby it is good!! Make it!
