Directions
-
In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
-
Stir in the taco seasoning and water, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
-
In a large bowl, mix the diced tomatoes with green chilies, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, corn, black beans, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Layer 2 cups of crushed Doritos at the bottom of the slow cooker.
-
Spread half of the soup mixture over the Doritos.
-
Add the ground beef mixture over the soup layer.
-
Repeat with another layer of 2 cups crushed Doritos and the remaining soup mixture.
-
Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until heated through and bubbly.
-
Serve hot, garnished with extra Doritos on top for added crunch, if desired.
Variations & Tips
You can easily swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version. Adding a layer of sautéed bell peppers can introduce a sweet crunch and more color to the dish. For a spicier kick, consider using spicy Doritos or adding a dash of hot sauce to the soup mixture. If you’re looking to make it a bit more wholesome, you could mix in some cooked quinoa or brown rice along with the ground beef mixture.
