Making Dorito Chicken Bake is simple when you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by greasing it lightly.

2. Combine Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, taco seasoning, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. If using, add diced bell peppers and onions for extra flavor.

5. Cheese Time: Add the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the Dorito layer.

6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
