Fried Cheese Stuffed Doritos
Enjoy crispy, cheesy Doritos stuffed with gooey cheese, perfect for snacking or gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 bag Doritos (flavor of your choice; nacho cheese is a classic!)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (like Monterey Jack or cheddar) Feel free to experiment with different cheeses!
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Dipping Options
- to taste salsa or guacamole Optional for dipping.
Instructions
Preparation
- Line up your ingredients: Grab three bowls for the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Don't forget your Doritos.
- Carefully take a Dorito and make a small pocket at the base with your fingers. Stuff about a tablespoon of cheese inside each Dorito. Repeat this for about half the bag.
Coating
- Dip each stuffed Dorito first into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Place them on a plate until you're ready to fry.
Frying
- In a large frying pan, heat about an inch of oil over medium heat. Test if it's hot enough by dropping in a breadcrumb; if it sizzles, you're ready to go.
- Carefully place a few stuffed Doritos in the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil.
Serving
- Plate them up with salsa or guacamole for dipping and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Use a fork or tongs to fry your Doritos to avoid burning your fingers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, but they won't be as crispy after reheating.
