Bacon-Stuffed Doritos: A Cheesy, Crispy Snack

Serving: These stuffed Doritos are best served fresh, but you can place them in the fridge for up to 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve them with extra hot sauce or a side of ranch dressing for dipping!
Storage: Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. However, it’s best to enjoy the stuffed chips right away since Doritos lose their crunch once stuffed.
Variations
Spicy Kick: For a spicier version, swap out regular Doritos for Flamin’ Hot chips, or increase the amount of hot sauce and add diced jalapeños to the filling.
Cheesy Bacon: Add shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese to the filling for an extra cheesy texture.
Vegetarian Option: Omit the bacon and add finely chopped olives, bell peppers, or green onions to the filling for a flavorful vegetarian alternative.
FAQ
1. Can I use any type of chip for this recipe?
While Doritos work perfectly for this recipe, you can experiment with other chips such as tortilla chips, pita chips, or even wavy potato chips. Just be mindful of the chip’s sturdiness to prevent breakage when stuffing.

2. Can I prepare these ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the filling and stuff the chips in advance. Store the stuffed chips in the fridge for up to 1 hour before serving. The cream cheese mixture can also be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.

3. Can I bake the stuffed Doritos?
For a warm version, you can bake the stuffed Doritos at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, just enough to melt the cheese and warm up the filling, but be careful not to overbake, as the chips might lose their crispness.
