Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Coating and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 bag of Doritos (your favorite flavor)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Craft a creamy, tangy cheese blend by thoroughly mixing cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a mixing bowl.
- Place a dollop of the cheese mixture in the center of each Dorito chip, carefully folding the chip to completely enclose the filling and securing with a toothpick if necessary.
- Create a crispy coating by first rolling the stuffed Doritos in flour, then dipping into beaten egg, and finally coating with breadcrumbs for maximum crunch.
- Prepare a deep skillet or fryer, heating vegetable oil to 350F (175C) for optimal frying temperature.
- Carefully lower the breaded cheese-stuffed Doritos into the hot oil, frying in small batches until they transform into a golden, crispy exterior, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried Doritos onto paper towels to drain excess oil and absorb any remaining grease.
Notes
- Use room temperature cheeses for smoother, easier mixing and better blending of flavors.
- Experiment with different Dorito flavors like Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch for unique taste variations.
- Freeze stuffed Doritos for 15 minutes before frying to help maintain their shape and prevent cheese from leaking.
- For a gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with cornstarch or gluten-free breadcrumbs and use gluten-free Doritos.
