Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag Nacho Cheese Doritos (or preferred flavor)
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish and Optional Serving:
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- Optional: sour cream or ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Craft a savory mixture by blending softened cream cheese with sharp cheddar, crispy crumbled bacon, finely chopped green onions, and a harmony of garlic and onion powders, seasoned with salt and pepper until ingredients meld seamlessly.
- Delicately open the Doritos bag and slice a precise central opening on each chip, maintaining chip integrity while creating a pocket for filling.
- Employ a precision tool like a small spoon or piping bag to tenderly introduce the creamy filling into each chip’s pocket, ensuring a balanced distribution without compromising chip structure.
- Transfer the meticulously stuffed Doritos onto a chilled serving tray, allowing them to rest in the refrigerator for approximately 20 minutes, enabling the filling to stabilize and intensify flavors.
- Present the chilled appetizers immediately, accompanied by complementary condiments such as tangy sour cream or zesty ranch dressing to elevate the taste experience.
Notes
- Choose high-quality cream cheese at room temperature for smoother, easier mixing without lumps.
- Crumble bacon extra finely to ensure even distribution throughout the filling and prevent large chunks from tearing chips.
- Use a piping bag or small squeeze bottle for precise, clean filling without damaging delicate Doritos chips.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or smoked gouda to create unique flavor variations and add personal flair to the recipe.
