Ingredients
Instructions
Step
1
In a food processor, mix DORITOS® Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips until finely ground; set aside.
Step
2
Prepare mac and cheese mix according to package directions (you should have about 3 cups). Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup tortilla chips, and 1 tbsp flour. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until well chilled.
Step
3
Combine remaining tortilla chips with breadcrumbs. Scoop mixture into 12 (2-inch) balls. Roll each ball in remaining flour, dip into eggs, then roll in bread crumb mixture until well coated.
Step
4
Pour enough oil into a large high-sided skillet to come 2 inches up side; heat over medium-high heat until an instant-read thermometer reads 350ºF. Working in batches, carefully drop mac and cheese balls in oil; fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mac and cheese balls to a paper towel-lined tray.
Step
5
Sprinkle with salt. Serve with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream for dipping.
