# Everything You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 bag (9.75 ounces) Doritos, any flavor
02 -
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 -
6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
05 -
½ teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
½ teaspoon onion powder
07 -
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)
# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Cook bacon until crispy by skillet, oven, or microwave. Drain on paper towels, cool, then crumble into small pieces.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until smooth and evenly blended. If needed, warm briefly to soften mixture.
03 -
Select the largest intact Dorito chips (about 24-30). Gently open one edge of each chip to create a small pocket without breaking.
04 -
Fill each Dorito pocket with 1-2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture using a piping bag or spoon, taking care not to overfill or break the chips.
05 -
Place stuffed Doritos in a single layer on a tray and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm the filling.
06 -
Sprinkle with chopped chives before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature, avoiding prolonged exposure to maintain texture.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos complement the filling well. For heat, add hot sauce or minced jalapeños to the filling. Filling can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated separately.
