Ingredients

3 cups DORITOS^® FLAMIN' HOT^® Nacho Flavored Tortilla Chips
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
8 Dutch-style wrapped cheese balls, unwrapped (such as Babybel)
Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

Step 1
In food processor, pulse DORITOS^® Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips to make finely crushed crumbs (about 1 cup). Transfer to a small bowl.

Step 2
In another small bowl, add flour. In third small bowl, add egg. Dredge cheese balls first in flour, dip in beaten egg and coat in crushed chips, pressing to adhere.

Step 3
In large saucepan or high-sided skillet set over medium heat, pour enough oil to reach 2 inches up sides of skillet. Heat until shimmering or an instant-read thermometer registers 375°F.

Step 4
In batches to avoid crowding, add breaded cheese balls to oil and cook, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes or until coating is golden brown and crispy.

Step 5
Transfer to paper towel–lined plate. Serve warm.
