ADVERTISEMENT

For Assembly

  • 1 large bag of Doritos (choose your favorite flavor; Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch work best)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Creamy Filling

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped chives (if using), garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  3. Transfer the filling into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off for easier handling.

2. Prepare the Doritos

  1. Carefully open each Dorito chip using a sharp paring knife, creating a small pocket. Be gentle to avoid breaking the chips.
  2. Pipe a small amount of the cream cheese mixture into each Dorito pocket, ensuring it is well-filled but not overstuffed. Repeat for all chips and set aside.

3. Coat the Stuffed Doritos

  1. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Carefully coat each stuffed Dorito in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in breadcrumbs for a crispy coating.
  3. Place the coated Doritos on a parchment-lined tray as you work.
