Let me share my favorite party appetizer that takes Doritos to the next level! These Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos combine everything wonderful about the classic chip with a rich creamy filling studded with crispy bacon. Every time I make these they disappear in minutes and everyone begs for the recipe.

Why This Snack is Amazing

The combination of crunchy Doritos with that creamy cheesy filling is absolutely irresistible. I love how the bacon adds a smoky salty kick and the seasonings make every bite pop. They're so fun to make and you can customize them however you like.

What You'll Need

  • The Basics: - One bag Nacho Cheese Doritos (or try other flavors!) - Softened cream cheese - Sharp cheddar cheese - Crispy crumbled bacon - Fresh green onions
  • The Seasonings: - Garlic powder - Onion powder - Salt and pepper to taste - Sour cream or ranch for dipping

Let's Make Some Magic

Make the Filling:
Mix your cream cheese cheddar bacon green onions and seasonings until smooth.
Prep Your Chips:
Carefully cut little slits in the center of each Dorito.
Fill with Love:
Pipe or spoon that creamy filling into each chip.
Chill Time:
Let them firm up in the fridge about 20 minutes.
Time to Share:
Serve them up with your favorite dipping sauce.

My Best Tips

Take your time cutting those slits we don't want broken chips. A piping bag makes filling so much easier and neater. Don't skip the chilling step it helps everything stay perfect.

Mix It Up

Add some spice with jalapeños try different cheeses or make them veggie-friendly with roasted peppers instead of bacon. Different Doritos flavors create whole new experiences.

Keep Them Fresh

These stay good in the fridge for a couple days in an airtight container. Want to crisp them back up? Just pop them in the oven briefly. Try serving with guacamole or fresh salsa for extra fun.
