Fried cheese stuffed Doritos feature mozzarella sticks coated in a crispy blend of crushed Doritos and breadcrumbs. These cheesy sticks are chilled, then flash-fried in hot oil until golden and gooey inside. Each bite delivers a bold Doritos crunch with melty cheese at the center, making them ideal for snacks or as a fun party treat. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce for an irresistible flavor experience.
I tried this as a fun experiment with leftover Doritos from a picnic and it became an instant party hit. The double coating trick turns out reliably golden sticks every batch.
Ingredients
- Crushed Doritos: Choose your favorite flavor for a bold coating Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese bring classic snack shop vibes. Make sure the chips are crushed fine for even application.
- Mozzarella cheese sticks: Go for whole milk mozzarella for ultimate gooeyness. Check for sticks that are uniform in size so all fry evenly.
- Eggs: Beaten egg helps all layers stick and gives bounce in the crunch.
- All purpose flour: Creates the dry base for the cheese so the egg coats well. I look for flour that is fresh and lump free.
- Breadcrumbs: Give extra structure along with Doritos for a stable shell. Choose panko for even more crisp.
- Vegetable oil: Pick a neutral high heat oil like canola or peanut for best frying results.
