Here’s a fun and indulgent recipe for Fried Cheese Stuffed Doritos — perfect for a crunchy, cheesy snack!
Fried Cheese Stuffed Doritos
Ingredients
- 1 bag of Doritos (any flavor, nacho cheese works best)
- 8–10 small cubes of mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed for batter)
- 1 egg (optional, for extra crispiness)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the cheese filling
- Cut cheese into small cubes (~1–2 cm).
- Make the batter
- In a bowl, mix flour + water (and egg if using) to create a slightly thick, smooth batter.
- Stuff the Doritos
- Carefully sandwich a cube of cheese between two Doritos, pressing edges gently.
- If Doritos break easily, try stuffing only one cheese cube between two overlapping pieces or wrap partially with another chip.
- Coat and fry
- Dip the stuffed Doritos into the batter, making sure they’re fully coated.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat (enough to submerge half the chip).
- Fry in batches until golden and crispy (~1–2 minutes per side).
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately
- Enjoy hot for the gooey cheese experience!
- Optional: Sprinkle extra Dorito crumbs, paprika, or chili powder for extra flavor.
Tips
- Fry quickly; Doritos cook fast and can burn.
- For extra crunch, you can coat in panko breadcrumbs after dipping in batter.
- Serve with ranch, salsa, or nacho cheese sauce.
