Dorito-Crusted Tortillas
Prep Time 7 minutes
Cook Time 13 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 ½ cups Doritos Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese feel free to mix in some mozzarella for extra melt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sour cream salsa, jalapeños, or guacamole
Instructions
Prep the Doritos
-
Start by crushing the Doritos into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a ziplock bag and smashing them with a rolling pin or by simply pulsing them a few times in a food processor. Aim for a coarse, yet even, texture—think breadcrumbs but with more flavor!
Prepare the Tortillas
-
Brush both sides of each tortilla with the melted butter. This will help the Dorito crumbs stick and give the tortilla a beautiful golden brown color as it bakes.
Coat the Tortillas
-
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly over both sides of each tortilla. Then, press the crushed Doritos onto both sides, ensuring the tortillas are fully coated. You want that crunchy coating to shine in every bite!
Bake to Perfection
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the coated tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the Doritos crust is crispy and the edges of the tortillas begin to turn golden brown.
Cheese Time!
-
Once the tortillas are perfectly crisp, take them out of the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top of each tortilla. Return them to the oven for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy
-
Remove from the oven and cut the cheesy Dorito-crusted tortillas into wedges. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces—sour cream, salsa, or even guacamole—whatever you like to complement the cheesy crunch.
