# Ingredients:
For the stacks and coating
01 -
1 bag (9.75 oz / 275 g) Nacho Cheese Doritos
02 -
8 oz (225 g) sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) squares
03 -
1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
04 -
1 tsp garlic powder
05 -
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
06 -
2 large eggs
07 -
2 tbsp milk
For frying and serving
08 -
Vegetable oil, for frying
09 -
Ranch dressing, for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Pulse about 2 cups of Doritos in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Pour the crumbs into a shallow bowl.
02 -
Place a square of cheddar between two whole Doritos chips and press gently so they stay together. Repeat with the remaining cheese and chips.
03 -
Mix the flour, garlic powder, and paprika in one shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a second shallow bowl.
04 -
Dredge a sandwich in the seasoned flour, then dip it in the egg wash, then roll it in the crushed Doritos. Press lightly so the crumbs adhere.
05 -
Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the sandwiches in batches for 1 to 2 minutes per side until deep golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
06 -
Let them cool for 1 minute so the cheese does not burn your mouth. Serve immediately with ranch dressing.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served immediately while the crust is still shattering.
02 -
Cool Ranch Doritos work as a substitute for a tangier flavor.
