Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat an oven or air-fryer to 350°F.

Step 2
Finely crush the entire bag of DORITOS® and set aside.

Step 3
In a large bowl, add the garlic, onion, ground beef, ricotta, egg, parmesan, cheddar cheese, Italian herbs, and red pepper flakes. Measure out 1 cup of the crushed DORITOS® and add it to the bowl. Generously season with salt and pepper, and mix well to combine.

Step 4
Pour the remaining DORITOS® into a wide, shallow dish. Portion each meatball into approximately 2 tablespoon-sized balls, then roll and press each meatball gently into the crushed DORITOS® to coat.

Step 5
Place the crusted meatballs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake or air-fry for 20-25 minutes or until the center reaches 165°F and the coating is golden and crisp.

Step 6
Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce by warming together the DORITOS® Spicy Nacho Cheese Dip with the marinara sauce.

Step 7
Once the meatballs are finished, remove from the oven. Allow to cool slightly before serving up alongside the prepared dipping sauce.

Step 8
Garnish with parsley and boldly serve up your creation!
