Ingredients
- 1 bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For a vegetarian twist, you can substitute the bacon with crispy, roasted chickpeas!
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. This will ensure your stuffed Doritos have a perfect, crispy finish.
- In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. This step always reminds me of helping my abuela mix her secret seasoning blends — it’s all about the senses!
- Carefully open each Dorito along the edge, being gentle to avoid breaking them. Spoon about one teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into each chip and press gently to close.
- Place the stuffed Doritos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the chips are slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This gives you the perfect chance to tidy up — just as my mom used to say, “A clean kitchen is a happy kitchen!”
