Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos Recipe

1. Preparing the Filling

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Chill: Place the mixture in the fridge for about 15 minutes. This makes it easier to work with when stuffing the Doritos.

2. Prepping the Doritos

  1. Prepare the Chips: Carefully open the bag of Doritos and remove any broken chips. Look for large, intact ones, as they will be easier to fill.
  2. Split the Chips: Using a sharp knife or scissors, gently cut a small slit into the side of each chip, creating a pocket for the filling.

3. Stuffing the Doritos

  1. Fill the Chips: Using a small spoon or piping bag, stuff each Dorito pocket with about a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling. Be gentle to avoid breaking the chips.
  2. Seal the Edges: Lightly press the edges of the chip to close the pocket as much as possible. Place the stuffed Doritos on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

4. Breading the Doritos

  1. Set Up the Breading Station: Place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls.
  2. Coat the Doritos:
    • Dredge each stuffed Dorito in flour, shaking off any excess.
    • Dip it into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated.
    • Press it into the breadcrumbs, covering it evenly.
  3. Chill Again: Place the breaded Doritos in the fridge for another 10-15 minutes to firm up before frying.

5. Frying the Doritos

  1. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry Until Golden: Fry the stuffed Doritos in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Drain and Cool: Remove the Doritos from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve Warm: These are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
  • Dipping Sauces: Pair with ranch dressing, sour cream, or spicy queso for an extra flavor punch.
  • Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or extra bacon bits for a polished presentation.

Pro Tips for Success

  1. Choose Sturdy Chips: Larger, thicker Doritos work best for stuffing and frying. Avoid overly fragile ones.
  2. Don’t Overfill: Overstuffing can cause the chips to break or the filling to spill during frying.
  3. Air Fryer Option: For a healthier version, air fry the breaded Doritos at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
