Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the taco seasoning mix, canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (with their juice), and cook for another 1-2 minutes to combine. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Stir until smooth.
Begin assembling the hot dish. Spread 5 cups of lightly crushed Cool Ranch Doritos evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the Doritos layer.
Pour the sour cream and soup mixture evenly over the beef layer, spreading it with a spatula to cover.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
Top with the remaining 5 cups of lightly crushed Cool Ranch Doritos, spreading them in an even layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
