Ingredients
Rice
- ¾ cup extra long grain rice
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup salsa con queso
Chicken
- 1 pound ground chicken breast
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Taco Bell Sauce
Doritos Bake
- ½ cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
- 35 Doritos nacho cheese
- ⅛ cup red onion diced
- ⅛ cup salsa
- ⅛ sweet corn kernels
- ¼ cup shredded lite Mexican cheese
- any additional toppings
Instructions
Rice
- Add rice to the bottom of the Instant Pot. Either use a nonstick bowl insert or grease the bottom first. Level out the rice.
- Add water to the top of the rice, trying not to disturb the rice. It is okay if some pieces come up and float.
- Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the pressure cook button to 5 minutes and start it. Not the rice setting, I just use the pressure cook setting. However, you can also make the rice on the stovetop or use an alternative rice such as riced cauliflower.
- When the time is up let the pot sit for 5-6 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid and add in the salsa con queso, mixing to combine. Then, set aside.
Chicken
- Heat a medium sized pan, greased with cooking spray, over medium/high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for a minute. Add in the ground chicken and start breaking it up. If you like it browned and crispy, let the chicken set, whole, on the stove about 1-2 minutes per side before breaking up.
- Once the chicken is starting to break up, sprinkle on the seasonings. Continue to break up and mix the chicken until fully cooked. Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the Taco Bell sauce and lime juice. Mix for a minute then remove from heat.
Doritos Bake
- In the casserole dish, add in half of the Doritos and break up into smaller pieces. Layer evenly with the rice mixture, then the ground chicken. Spread on the yogurt, then sprinkle on your taco toppings. Be careful as to which taco toppings you are putting on right now as it will have to go in the oven. Not all toppings should be heated up such as shredded lettuce.
- Add the other half of the Doritos on top, slightly crushed, then, sprinkle with cheese. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Add any additional taco toppings or more chips, then, divide into 4 pieces.
