# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 bag (275 g) Doritos, any flavor
02 -
1 package (227 g) cream cheese, softened
03 -
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
04 -
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
05 -
½ teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
½ teaspoon onion powder
07 -
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Cook the bacon until crispy using your preferred method (skillet, oven, or microwave). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. When cool, crumble into small pieces and set aside.
02 -
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir thoroughly until smooth and creamy. If necessary, briefly microwave the mixture for 10-15 seconds to soften further.
03 -
Select the largest, most intact Doritos from the bag. Carefully open each chip along one edge to create a small pocket for the filling, avoiding breaking the chips completely.
04 -
Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip, or use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Alternatively, use a small spoon or butter knife. Carefully fill each chip pocket with 1-2 teaspoons of the mixture, depending on the chip size. Avoid overfilling.
05 -
Arrange the stuffed Doritos in a single layer on a tray or plate, ensuring they don't overlap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up the filling.
06 -
Before serving, sprinkle the stuffed Doritos with freshly chopped chives for garnish. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Avoid leaving them at room temperature for extended periods for the best flavor and texture.
# Notes:
01 -
For a more seamless process, ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature before mixing.
02 -
Using a piping bag makes the filling process quick and neat.
