Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, I start by crushing the spicy Doritos into fine crumbs in my food processor—this really helps to pack in the flavor for the outer layer. If I don’t have my processor handy, I’ll just put the chips in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Next, I combine the shredded cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl. The aroma of those spices is just irresistible! Mix it until it’s creamy and well-combined. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
