1/2 stick unsalted butter

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can Rotel w/green chiles

8 oz sharp Velveeta

1/2 cup milk

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar

3. Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté the onion until translucent. Lower your heat. 

4. Add the soups (undiluted) to the onions. Add the Rotel (do not drain). Stir well.

8. Place strips of tortillas across soup mixture. 

9. Sprinkle the remaining half of the Doritos over soup. Top with grated cheddar.
