These bite-sized treats combine crispy Doritos, creamy cheese filling, and savory bacon for the ultimate party snack or indulgent appetizer.
Ingredients
• 1 bag of Doritos (Nacho Cheese or your favorite flavor)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Oil for frying (if deep-frying)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling:
• In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
2. Stuff the Doritos:
• Carefully open one edge of each Dorito chip to create a pocket. Be gentle to avoid breaking the chip.
• Spoon or pipe a small amount of the cream cheese mixture into the pocket, then press the edges lightly to seal.
3. Fry or Bake:
Frying Option:
• Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the stuffed Doritos in small batches for 1-2 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
Baking Option:
• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the stuffed Doritos on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until the filling is warm and the chips are slightly crisped.
4. Serve:
• Arrange the stuffed Doritos on a platter and serve immediately. They’re great on their own or paired with ranch, sour cream, or salsa for dipping.
