Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups crushed Doritos chips of your favorite flavor
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • pinch of salt and black pepper
  • vegetable oil for frying enough to submerge bites

Method
 

  1. Pour Doritos into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form, or crush in a sealed bag.
  2. Stir paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the crushed chips for extra flavor.
  3. Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in a second, and Doritos crumbs in a third.
  4. Gently roll each cube of mozzarella in flour to coat and shake off excess.
  5. Dip floured cheese into the eggs, then press into the seasoned Doritos crumbs until fully covered.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (use a thermometer if you have one).
  7. Carefully slide a few coated cheese bites into the hot oil, ensuring they don’t touch.
  8. Fry for about 2–3 minutes or until the exterior turns golden and crisp, turning gently for even coloring.
  9. Remove bites with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving so the cheese stays delightfully molten inside.
