Homemade Doritos Recipe

Pat almost died when I made this copycat Doritos recipe. I mean, this is his version of heaven. And since they’re homemade Doritos, we are telling ourselves they are healthy. Of course they’re fried, which means they are not actually healthy, BUT…we are in denial. And I’m okay with that! Besides, I’ll always take a homemade version, where I know exactly what’s in them, over a bag of chips made in a factory.

The only negative with these homemade Cool Ranch Doritos is how messy your fingers get. But thathappens whether you buy them at the store or make them at home. And I don’t know if that really counts as a negative, because that’s kind of part of the fun of Doritos, right?

How to Make Cool Ranch Doritos:

1. Heat oil in a dutch oven or deep set pot. Oil should reach 350°F before frying.
2. Cut the uncooked tortillas into triangular wedges (like chips!)
3. In a mixing bowl, combine ranch seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
4. Fry the tortillas in batches for about 3 minutes, until they get crispy. Use a wooden spoon to carefully press them and de-puff them (they will fill up with air while frying).
5. As soon as you remove the tortillas from the oil, place them on a paper towel lined plate. Then sprinkle and toss them in the cool ranch seasoning.

This homemade Doritos recipe makes about 5-6 dozen chips, so plenty to snack on. Store them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag, and they will last up to 2 weeks (assuming you don’t eat them all!).
