Notes

I used nacho cheese flavored Doritos, but any flavor is fine.
If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute your favorite cream soup.
Make sure not to crush the Dorito chips too fine or they will turn to mush when cooked.
You can repeat layers in the baking dish with a layer of chips in the middle, but it is easier to layer the chips, meat and cheese, topped with more chips. Adding the chips at the end prevents them from browning too much.
