Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Nacho Cheese Doritos – enough to make multiple sandwiches
  • Cheese Filling (Mozzarella or cheese blend) – about 1 cup, shredded or grated
  • All-Purpose Flour – ½ cup for dusting and coating
  • Eggs – 2 large, beaten
  • Cooking Oil – enough for deep frying (about 2 cups)

Optional Seasonings

  • Paprika – ½ teaspoon
  • Garlic Powder – ¼ teaspoon
  • Chili Flakes – ¼ teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheese Filling: Grate your chosen cheese or blend it well if using a soft cheese to make stuffing easier. Ensure the cheese is at room temperature for optimal melting.
  2. Stuff the Doritos: Take two or three Doritos chips and sandwich a small spoonful of cheese between them, pressing gently to help them stick together.
  3. Coat the Stuffed Chips: Lightly dust each stuffed Doritos sandwich with flour to create a dry surface. Then dip them fully in the beaten eggs, ensuring complete coverage for a better frying crispness.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat cooking oil to 350°F (175°C). Maintaining this temperature is crucial to prevent sogginess and achieve a perfect golden fry.
  5. Fry Until Golden: Carefully place the coated Doritos into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until the exterior is crispy, golden, and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried cheese-stuffed Doritos using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm for the best experience.

Notes

  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to avoid greasy snacks and achieve crispiness.
  • Use a moderate amount of cheese to prevent leaking while frying.
  • Double-dip in flour and egg for a firm coating that keeps the filling intact during frying.
  • Use fresh Doritos as stale chips may crumble and not hold the cheese well.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy them hot, crispy, and melty.
