- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine:
- Softened cream cheese
- Cheddar cheese
- Crumbled bacon
- Green onions (optional)
- Garlic powder
- Paprika
- Salt & pepper
Mix until fully combined.
2. Prepare the Doritos
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay out Dorito chips in a single layer so they don’t overlap.
3. Stuff the Chips
- Using a spoon or piping bag, place a dollop of the cream cheese filling onto each chip.
- Press gently so it sticks to the chip.
4. Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake chips for 8–10 minutes, just until the cheese warms and softens (don’t overbake or chips will soften too much).
5. Serve
Serve warm with:
- Ranch dressing
- Spicy mayo
- Sour cream
- Salsa
🔥 Tips
- Use flavored Doritos for variety: Spicy Nacho, Flamin’ Hot, Sweet Chili.
- Add jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Keep the filling cold before stuffing if you want it extra firm.
- These are best eaten immediately for maximum crunch.
🍽 Variations
- Buffalo Style: Add buffalo sauce + blue cheese crumbles.
- Mexican Style: Add taco seasoning, corn, and black beans.
