# Instructions:

Crush Doritos to a Panko-like texture using a food processor or zip-lock bag. Set up three bowls: first with seasoned flour, second with beaten eggs, and third with crushed Doritos.

Dredge each cheese triangle in flour mixture, then egg, then crushed Doritos. Ensure thorough coating at each stage. Let rest 10-15 minutes.
