Effortless Cream Cheese Bacon Doritos (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 1/2 cup bacon bits, cooked and crumbled
02 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, any type
05 - 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, brought to room temp

→ Base & Garnish

06 - Fresh chives or extra bacon crumbles as topping (if you like)
07 - 1 bag (10 oz) of oversized Doritos chips (Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese work great)

# Instructions:

01 - Combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar, bacon, green onions, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Stir together until lump-free and smooth.
02 - Use your fingers to carefully open up one side of each Dorito, making a tiny pocket while keeping the chip intact.
03 - Take a small spoon or a piping bag and gently fill each Dorito's pocket with the creamy filling. Avoid adding too much to prevent breaks.
04 - Put the filled chips on a serving dish and place them in the fridge for 15 minutes. Sprinkle on chives or bacon bits before serving if you want a little garnish.

# Notes:

01 - Flavored cream cheese could give this a fun new spin.
02 - Pick bigger Doritos so they’re sturdier to fill.
03 - Crunch is best right after making these; they get soggy if left too long in the fridge.
