❤️ Why You'll Love It

  • A quick and easy snack that goes pretty well with many dips.
  • Bursting with a zesty flavor and beautiful color. Copycat Doritos are better than what you get at the grocery store.
  • Versatile, use any spices you like to make it your own and come up with a new flavor each time.

📝 Ingredients

Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. You'll find the full measurements and instructions in the recipe card (printable) at the bottom of the page.

  • For the cheddar cheese seasoning, I've used a brand that is easily found in stores.
  • You can also use any cheese powder you like or have at home.
  • You can also use the cheese packet that comes inside the box of macaroni and cheese.
  • Nutritional yeast is not a must but it gives an extra cheesy and savory taste to the Doritos.
  • Use corn tortillas not the flour one, here is the brand I've used for this recipe.
  • Dry ranch dip mix.

🥄 Instructions

Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.

  1. First, fold tortillas in half and then into quarters, the tortillas will tear on their own. Using a sharp knife, cut into two triangles so each tortilla will yield eight pieces.
  2. Spray a lined baking sheet with oil spray, arrange triangles then spray the tops and bake in a 350 degrees F oven.
  1. Mix spice ingredients in a small bowl and taste to adjust seasoning to your liking.
  2. Immediately after the tortillas are out sprinkle each side with the seasoning mix on both sides while they are still hot.

💡 Tips

  • I do not recommend using flour tortillas in this recipe, they are too thick and will make a denser chip plus they do not give the desired taste.
  • I’ve used nacho cheese and white cheddar popcorn seasoning in this recipe which made for a perfect mix. If this is not available, you can use finely grated parmesan cheese.
  • You can also use cheddar cheese powder, they are available online.
  • I did not add more salt to the spice mix as it is already salted but you can taste the mix before sprinkling it over the tortillas and adjust accordingly.
  • Nutritional yeast is not a must but it adds a savory cheesy flavor so if you have it go ahead and use some.

👩‍🍳 Variations

  • Play with the seasoning mix as much as you like, try adding different spices, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder or come up with your own. Here is a new idea make them spiced up with Hawaij for an exotic new spice blend.
  • You can also use the package of cheese mixture that comes with store-bought macaroni and cheese box.
  • Other cooking methods are listed in the recipe card below.

    I will try this, thank you. I like Doritos, but do not eat them as they have MSG. I do not do MSG on purpose.
