Taco casserole is a fiesta in a baking dish! With layers of savory seasoned taco meat, crunchy Doritos, and melted cheese, there’s a lot to love. I garnish this Tex-Mex casserole with sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, and tomatoes, just like a real taco.
Today’s taco casserole has layers of Dorito crunch and savory taco meat mixed with veggies, corn, beans, and a gooey, melty cheese blend. It’s on the table in under an hour and such a fun way to put a fresh spin on taco night!

Simple ingredients. The filling is easy to make with a few of my favorite Tex-Mex-inspired ingredients. All of them are readily available in grocery stores and often already in the cupboard.
