  7. I have made a recipe similar to this once before and the crushed chips on the bottom ended up soggy? Does that happen with this recipe? Also I was considering using Doritos instead of Tortilla chips, think that would work?

  8. I made this about a year ago with doritos and was great! Tonight I'm using the tortilla chips. A bit soggy, but not bad at all. Everyone loves it so this is a keeper for me!
