Ingredients:
- 1 bag (9.25 oz) Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray (optional, for crisping)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well blended and creamy.
- Fill the Doritos: Carefully open each Dorito slightly to create a pocket, being careful not to break it. Using a small spoon or piping bag, stuff each Dorito with the cream cheese mixture. Press the edges gently back together.
- Optional Crisping: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the stuffed Doritos on it. Lightly spray them with cooking spray for extra crispness. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the filling is warm and slightly melted.
- Serve: Serve the Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos warm or at room temperature. These cheesy, crunchy snacks are perfect for parties, game nights, or as a fun, flavorful snack!
Notes:
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture.
- If you’re making these ahead of time, you can prep the stuffed Doritos and store them in the fridge for up to 2 hours before baking.
- These Doritos are great for dipping! Serve with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce for an even tastier experience.
