- Carefully open each Dorito and spoon about 1 to 1½ teaspoons of filling inside, taking care not to crack the chips.

Notes
Use different cheeses like Colby or pepper jack for variety.
Add scallions or bell pepper for texture and flavor.
Brush with hot sauce butter or taco seasoning before baking for extra kick.
Best served warm; reheat in a 325°F oven for a few minutes to crisp again.
Make dairy-free using plant-based cheese alternatives.
