I've taken VOR cross-bearings with a single working VOR receiver.

The DME does make life a lot simpler, doesn't it?

On my checkride, the DE asked me to figure out our location after I came
out from under the hood. I used one VOR and the DME, and showed him our
position on the chart.

He challenged me on how I could do it with one VOR, but I explained about
the DME, and he seemed to accept the explanation. He didn't seem happy about
it, though. (I'm not sure if he had realized there was a DME in the
plane before I used it.)
