Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos are a deliciously indulgent snack, combining crispy Doritos with creamy, savory filling. Here’s a simple recipe to make these irresistible treats:
Ingredients:
- 1 bag of Doritos (Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch, your choice)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (about 6-8 slices)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)
- 1 tablespoon sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon chives or green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the filling:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese (if using), and sour cream (if using). Stir until everything is well combined and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
- Stuff the Doritos:
- Carefully use a small spoon to stuff each Dorito with the cream cheese mixture. Try to gently open the chip to avoid breaking it, and then fill the inside with the mixture. You can also lightly press the filling into the chip to make sure it stays put.
- Chill the stuffed Doritos (optional):
- For best results, chill the stuffed Doritos in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set and makes them easier to handle.
- Serve:
- Once the Doritos are stuffed and chilled, serve them as a fun snack or appetizer! You can sprinkle chopped chives or green onions on top for garnish, if desired.
Tips:
- You can experiment with different types of Doritos, such as Spicy Nacho or even the cool ranch flavor, to create a different taste profile.
- For a bit of heat, you could add some hot sauce, jalapeños, or cayenne pepper to the cream cheese mixture.
- If you prefer, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to crisp up the Doritos and melt the filling a little, though the chilled version is great as is.
These Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos are perfect for parties, game days, or just as a savory treat whenever you’re craving something indulgent. Enjoy!
