Crispy, cheesy, and packed with bold Doritos flavor — these Fried Cheese Doritos Bites are the ultimate snack for parties, movie nights, or whenever you crave a fun, crunchy treat. Cheese on the inside, Doritos crunch on the outside!
Ingredients
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese cut into cubes or use cheese sticks
- 1 cup crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Crush Doritos into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Dredge each cheese cube in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, then coat with Doritos crumbs.
- For extra crunch, repeat the egg and crumb step for a second coating.
- Place coated bites on a tray and freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
- Fry bites in small batches until golden and crispy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with ranch or salsa.
Notes
- Freezing before frying helps prevent cheese from oozing out.
- Use pepper jack, cheddar, or any melty cheese you love.
- Air fryer method: Spray bites with oil and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes.
