→ Main Ingredients
01 -
275 g bag flavoured tortilla chips (Doritos)
02 -
227 g cream cheese, softened
03 -
100 g cheddar cheese, shredded
04 -
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
05 -
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
0.5 teaspoon onion powder
07 -
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Cook bacon until crisp using preferred method, then drain on paper towel. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces and set aside.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until mixture is smooth and creamy. Microwave for 10–15 seconds if a softer texture is needed.
03 -
Select the largest, most intact tortilla chips. Gently create a pocket in each chip by opening along one edge, taking care not to break the chip.
04 -
Transfer filling to a piping bag with a small round tip or use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped. Alternatively, use a small spoon or butter knife. Carefully fill each chip pocket with 1–2 teaspoons of filling, depending on chip size. Avoid overfilling to prevent breakage.
05 -
Arrange stuffed chips in a single layer on a tray or plate without overlapping. Transfer to the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up the filling.
06 -
Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped chives. Serve chilled or at room temperature. For optimal texture, avoid leaving stuffed chips at room temperature for an extended period.
# Notes:
01 -
Using a piping bag or zip-top bag allows for precise filling and helps prevent breakage of the chips.
02 -
Chilling sets the filling and enhances the flavour balance.
