Get ready to experience the ultimate fusion of flavors with Bacon & Cream Cheese Stuffed Doritos! A decadent snack combining crispy bacon, creamy cream cheese, and the crunch of Doritos chips.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp chopped chives or green onions
- 1 large bag Doritos (your favorite flavor: Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, etc.)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, ranch seasoning (if using), garlic powder, and chopped chives or green onions until well combined. Chill the mixture for 20-30 minutes.
2. Carefully spread a thick layer of the cream cheese filling between two Doritos of similar size, gently pressing them together like a sandwich.
3. To prepare the stuffed Doritos for frying, dredge each one in all-purpose flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it with the panko breadcrumbs.
4. In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
5. Carefully add 2-3 stuffed Doritos at a time to the hot oil and fry until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
6. The key to perfectly crispy Bacon & Cream Cheese Stuffed Doritos is maintaining the right oil temperature and not overcrowding the pan.
Notes
These stuffed Doritos are delicious on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with a variety of dipping sauces like ranch, blue cheese, or spicy chipotle mayo.
For a party-ready presentation, arrange the warm, freshly fried Bacon & Cream Cheese Stuffed Doritos on a platter or in a serving bowl, garnishing with crumbled bacon and chopped chives.
