# Instructions:
01 -
Combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, ranch seasoning (if using), garlic powder, and chopped chives in a bowl. Mix until thoroughly blended.
02 -
Select pairs of Doritos chips of similar size. Spread a small portion of the cheese filling onto one chip and sandwich with a second chip. Continue until all filling is used.
03 -
Arrange three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
04 -
Dip each stuffed Doritos sandwich into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat evenly in panko breadcrumbs.
05 -
Fill a deep skillet or pot with about 5 cm of oil. Heat to 175°C.
06 -
Fry the breaded stuffed chips in batches for 1–2 minutes per side, turning as needed until crisp and golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.
07 -
Present while hot with preferred dipping sauces such as ranch, sour cream, or spicy queso.
# Notes:
01 -
Work quickly when assembling and frying to prevent the chips from absorbing excess moisture.
02 -
Ensure oil remains at the proper temperature for optimal crispiness.
