What is instant pot taco casserole?
Taco casserole is like a deconstructed taco. It’s layers of tasty taco meat with cheese and tortilla chips on top.
How to make chicken taco casserole?
You can substitute the ground beef with ground chicken or ground turkey in this recipe. Follow the instructions the same. If you can’t find ground chicken, just throw a couple of raw chicken breasts in a food processor and process for about a minute, until ground into small chunks.
How to make taco casserole with Doritos?
You can totally make this taco casserole with Doritos. Just switch out the tortilla chips for equal amounts of Doritos. I recommend Nacho Cheese Doritos.
