Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Absolutely! I've made it with turkey when we're trying to be "healthy"—just add an extra tablespoon of taco seasoning since turkey needs more flavor love. Pro tip: Mix in a splash of olive oil to keep it moist!

How long do leftovers last?

In our house? Maybe 5 minutes! But seriously, store it covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. The chips soften over time, but I kinda love that melty texture—it's like nacho lasagna!

Can I make this ahead?

You bet! Assemble everything except the top layer of Doritos, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, add fresh chips and pop it in the oven—just add 5 extra minutes since it's cold.

What if I don't have cream of chicken soup?

No sweat—cream of mushroom works great, or even cheddar cheese soup for extra cheesiness! In a real pinch? Mix 1 cup sour cream with 1/4 cup milk and 1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder.

Not as written—it's totally kid-friendly! But if you want heat, use hot salsa, spicy Doritos, or add a diced jalapeño to the beef. My teenage son likes to douse his portion in hot sauce—whatever floats your boat!
