Work carefully: When making slits in the Doritos, go slow and gentle to avoid breaking the chips.
Use a piping bag: If you have one, a piping bag will make stuffing the chips easier and less messy.
Chill time is key: Don’t skip the chilling step! It helps the filling set and makes the Doritos easier to handle.
Variations and Add-Ons
Spicy kick: Add a bit of finely diced jalapeño to the filling for some heat.
Different cheeses: Try substituting the cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
Vary the chips: While Nacho Cheese Doritos are a classic choice, Cool Ranch or Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos would also be delicious!
Vegetarian version: Skip the bacon and add in some chopped roasted peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for a vegetarian option that’s just as flavorful.
What to Serve with Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos
These stuffed Doritos are great on their own, but if you’re looking to build out your snack table, they pair wonderfully with a few other options. I suggest serving them with:
Sour cream or ranch dipping sauce: These add an extra layer of flavor and richness.
Guacamole: The creamy avocado dip works surprisingly well with the cheesy bacon filling.
Salsa: A fresh tomato salsa can provide a refreshing contrast to the rich cream cheese filling.
How to Store Leftovers
If you somehow manage to have leftovers (which I doubt!), you can store the stuffed Doritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to re-crisp them, try popping them in the oven for a few minutes to bring back some of that crunch!
