Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Crush the Nacho Cheese Doritos into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced tomatoes with green chilies, taco seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
