Ingredients

1 cup crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon water

Oil for frying


Instructions

1. Slice or shred mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and keep chilled.

2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs + water, and one with crushed Doritos.

3. Form small cheese stacks and place them inside wonton wrappers or tortillas, then seal edges tightly.

4. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in egg wash, then coat thoroughly with crushed Doritos.

5. Heat oil to 350°F. Fry each triangle for 2–3 minutes or until golden and crisp.

6. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

Notes

Chill the cheese beforehand to keep it from melting too quickly while frying.

Use an air fryer at 375°F for 5–6 minutes if you want a lighter, less oily version.
