Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein and Cheese:
- 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 package cream cheese (8 ounces / 226 grams, softened)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chips and Seasoning:
- 1 bag Doritos (9.75 ounces / 276 grams, any flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
- Blend softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and onion powder in a mixing bowl until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Carefully separate each Dorito chip, creating a delicate pocket without breaking the chip’s structure.
- Utilize a small spoon or piping bag to fill each chip with the creamy cheese and bacon mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Gently place the stuffed chips on a flat tray, arranging them in a single layer to prevent overlapping.
- Refrigerate the prepared Doritos for 20 minutes at 40°F to help the filling set and maintain structural integrity.
- Just before serving, garnish the chilled stuffed chips with finely chopped chives for a vibrant visual and flavor enhancement.
- Present the appetizers either slightly chilled or at room temperature, showcasing the perfect balance of crispy chip, creamy filling, and smoky bacon notes.
Notes
- Choose thick, sturdy Doritos to prevent breakage during filling, ensuring a clean and intact chip base for your delicious stuffed snack.
- Crumble bacon finely to create a smooth, consistent texture that distributes evenly throughout the cream cheese mixture for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Pat bacon dry with paper towels before crumbling to remove excess grease, helping maintain the cream cheese mixture’s creamy consistency and preventing sogginess.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat cream cheese with reduced-fat alternatives and use turkey bacon to decrease overall calorie and fat content while maintaining delicious flavor profile.
