I find it funny that it calls for fat free sour creamand 2% cheese ... jeez, you're already using Doritos, why not use the real thing? ... lol
there's nothing wrong with cutting calories & fat where you can.......0 -

Sounds delicious. Probably make for my next cheat meal and use full fat cream and cheese.
Oh oh, did I mention cheat meal? Here comes the multiple "you shouldn't do cheat meal" threads....0 -
I'm totally with you on the use of fat free stuff, but random thought: do they still make the baked Doritos? Because those are lower fat and calories. Not that I ever agreed with it. Just a thought.I find it funny that it calls for fat free sour creamand 2% cheese ... jeez, you're already using Doritos, why not use the real thing? ... lol0 -
Huh. According to the Frito-Lay website they DO still make baked Nacho Cheese Doritos. They also make something called Doritos Cool Ranch reduced fat. The reduced fat has 130 calories per serving, the baked have 120 calories per serving.
The regular Doritos cool ranch has 150. The regular Doritos Nacho has 140.
As far as why use reduced fat cheese, sour cream etc. in a recipe with something as junky as Doritos? Because the recipe sounds GOOD, and if I cut fat and calories bit by bit where I can, eating this for dinner won't kill my calorie count for the day.0 -
O.k., I entered it into my recipes. I used a pound of Costco chicken tenders, and reduced the Baked Doritos to about 15 crunched on top. I'm thinking when I make it I might throw a Flatout flat bread on the bottom, or possible tear it into strips in the middle, instead of the original Doritos that were crunched in there. That would add about 15 calories and some fiber, but I didn't include that in this.

It's still relatively high in sodium, but if that was a serious concern you could probably make your own taco spice mix and omit the salt. But for barely over 209 calories???? I'll add a salad, eat Dorito Casserole and my food diary will be almost as happy as me!
Thanks for the original recipe!!!0 -
Why do people post stuff like this on a fitness site? Look at that sodium content, people! :sick:
who cares, drink more water and get over it!0 -
I agree!!0

This is a dish from my childhood and I still make it all the time. Although we do make slight changes.
Use the Spicy rotel. No Taco Seasoning, sautee an entire diced green pepper and diced onion and add to the soup/chicken mixture.0 -

I will be making this very soon! Hubby is sitting next to me at his pc and I read him the recipe and he wants now lol. Our sodium intake is always high, but we drink a ton of water so it balances out somewhere down the line.

Um, why not? I don't need to watch my sodium particularly close and sometimes a want a meal that is a "treat" without totally blowing up my day -- this fits the bill.
I think a better question is why do you feel the need to govern this website like your goals or lifestyle are superior?0 -
