Description

Crispy Doritos stuffed with gooey melted cheese, then fried to perfection, creating a crunchy, cheesy snack that’s hard to resist.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag Doritos (any flavor of your choice)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well combined.
  2. Carefully make a small slit on the edge of each Dorito chip using a knife. Gently stuff the cheese mixture into each Dorito, making sure not to overfill.
  3. Set up a breading station: place the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten egg in another, and the bread crumbs in a third dish.
  4. Coat each stuffed Dorito in flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally roll it in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the stuffed Doritos in batches, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove the fried Doritos from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or salsa.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try using flavored Doritos, like Cool Ranch or Spicy Sweet Chili.
  • Be cautious when frying, as the oil can splatter. Use tongs to carefully place the Doritos in the hot oil.
  • These are best enjoyed fresh and crispy, but you can reheat them in the oven to maintain their crunch.
