If you love tacos and Doritos like me, this Dorito Pie is going to be your new favorite dinner! It's cheesy, crunchy, and full of flavor, with layers of taco meat, creamy salsa-sour cream filling, melted cheese, and a golden Dorito topping.
I've been making this Dorito Taco Pie for years, and it never fails to be a huge hit at family dinners and potlucks. It’s another Dorito-run-to, along with my Doritos Casserole with Chicken, whenever I want to incorporate an extra crunch to my dish. It's just like my Layered Shepherd's Pie Recipe that feels fun and a little nostalgic but with a twist!
What I love most about this recipe is how simple it is to make. And oh, did I mention how the buttery crust pairs perfectly with the taco filling? Depending on my mood, I can easily switch up the Dorito flavors or toppings, so it’s a major win!
It's perfect as a weeknight dinner, a game day snack, or even as a dish to pass at gatherings. Every slice is cheesy, crunchy, and loaded with flavor. You really can't go wrong with this one!

⭐ Pro Tips ⭐
- Seal the seams tightly! Press the crescent roll seams so the crust doesn't separate while baking.
- Use freshly shredded cheese. It melts creamier than pre-shredded cheese!
- Let the pie cool before slicing so it doesn’t fall out. Also, let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting so it holds together better!
- Crush the Doritos into medium-sized pieces-not too fine-so you get that satisfying crunch!
