Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, and ranch seasoning until smooth and well mixed.
2. Select two Doritos of similar size. Spread a small amount of the cheese filling onto one chip, then gently press the second chip on top to form a sandwich.
3. Lightly dust each stuffed chip with flour. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the crushed Doritos.
4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry each stuffed Dorito for 30–45 seconds per side, or until crisp and golden. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. While warm, sprinkle with extra bacon or a touch of cheese, if desired.

Variations

• Use Cool Ranch Doritos for a tangy twist.
• Add finely diced jalapeños to the cheese mixture for heat.
• Substitute pepper jack cheese for extra spice.
• Try baking instead of frying at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes to lighten the dish.

Tips

• Make sure the filling is firmly pressed between the chips to prevent leaking while frying.
• Crush Doritos into fine crumbs for better coating adhesion.
• Keep the oil temperature consistent for even browning.
• Serve immediately for the best texture—these are at their peak when the filling is hot and gooey.
