Cream Cheese Bacon Doritos (Print-Friendly Version)

Crispy Doritos filled with a blend of cream cheese, cheddar, and bacon for a bold party snack.

# What You Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 275 g Doritos tortilla chips (approximately 1 bag, any flavor)
02 - 225 g cream cheese, softened
03 - 115 g cheddar cheese, shredded
04 - 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
05 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

# How to Make It:

01 - Cook the bacon in a skillet, oven, or microwave until deeply crisp. Drain on paper towels, allow to cool, then crumble into small pieces.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly mix softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth and well blended. Ensure cream cheese is fully soft for ease of mixing. If too firm, allow to reach room temperature or microwave for 10–15 seconds.
03 - Choose 24–30 of the largest, most intact Doritos and gently open each chip along one edge to create a small pocket, taking care to avoid breaking.
04 - Transfer the cheese mixture to a piping bag with small tip or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped. Alternatively, use a small spoon or butter knife. Carefully pipe or spoon 1–2 teaspoons of filling into each chip pocket, ensuring chips are not overfilled.
05 - Arrange the stuffed Doritos in a single layer on a tray or plate. Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 20 minutes, allowing the filling to firm up.
06 - Before serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh chives. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature, avoiding prolonged standing for optimal texture.

# Important Notes:

01 - Nacho Cheese flavor complements the filling, but other varieties may be used for different profiles.
02 - For heat, incorporate hot sauce or finely minced jalapeños into the cheese mixture.
03 - Cheese filling may be made up to one day ahead and refrigerated, but it is best to stuff chips just before service.
04 - For enhanced presentation, reserve a portion of bacon to sprinkle over chips with chives.
