Ingredients (Measured in Cups):

1 (9.75 oz) bag Doritos (Nacho Cheese flavor recommended)
1 cup cream cheese, softened (8 oz block)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
⅓ cup cooked, crumbled bacon (about 3–4 strips)
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for crunch and color)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

How to Make Cream Cheese & Bacon Stuffed Doritos:

Step 1: Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with shredded cheddar cheese (if using). Stir until smooth and well blended. Add in the crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed.

Tip: For best results, let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before mixing — it’ll blend more easily.

Step 2: Stuff the Doritos

Pick large, intact Doritos chips from the bag — these will be easier to fill. Using a small spoon, spatula, or piping bag, gently apply a small amount of filling onto the center of each chip.

Caution: Doritos are fragile. Handle gently to avoid breaking them while stuffing.

Step 3: Chill Before Serving

Place your stuffed Doritos on a tray or plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This step helps the filling firm up and makes the bites even more satisfying.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve on a platter with a drizzle of ranch or spicy cheese sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley or extra green onion for a fresh touch.
Add toothpicks if serving as finger food at a party.

Pro Tips:

Only stuff as many Doritos as you plan to eat — they can go soggy if left too long.
You can make the filling ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Try different Doritos flavors (like Spicy Nacho or Cool Ranch) for a flavor twist.
