    Tips & Tricks

    • Make it spicy: If you want super spicy nachos, you’ve got to make the most of your jalapeños. Collect the jalapeño seeds and sprinkle them atop your nachos before baking for a flavorful kick.
    • Customize this recipe with your favorite toppings: The best thing about nachos is how customizable they are. Make your best nachos by adding all your favorite toppings. Maybe you prefer chicken to beef, or you like guacamole and sour cream in your nachos. You have the freedom to make them just the way you like.
    • Overlap the Doritos and keep them to only one single layer: To ensure your Doritos bake evenly (and to prevent burning), speed them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.

    Are Nachos and Dorito the Same Thing?

    Doritos and nachos are not the same things. Nachos are a traditional Mexican dish comprised of tortilla chips, cheese and toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa or meat. Doritos is an American brand of flavored tortilla chips produced by the Frito-Lay company. 

    Can You Microwave Doritos?

    Yes! Zapping Doritos in the microwave for a few seconds creates a warm snack. Just be sure to remove them from the packaging and use a microwave-safe bowl or container. 

    Doritos Flavors

    Doritos tortilla chips come in lots of different flavors. The most popular is the classic nacho cheese flavor. Other Doritos flavors include Cool Ranch, Spicy Sweet Chili and Poppin’ Jalapeño. If you’d like some extra spice, try the Flamin’ Hot line of Doritos tortilla chips.

    What Kind of Cheese to Use in This Recipe?

    The best cheeses to use for this recipe are cheddar, Colby and Monterey Jack. These melt really well and add great flavor to your nachos. 

    Toppings to Add Before Baking

    Before putting your nachos into the oven, add your favorite toppings. The oven-friendly toppings are cheese, meat, beans, veggies and jalapeños. 

    Toppings to Add After Baking

    Some toppings need to be added after you remove the nachos from the oven, just before serving. These toppings include avocado, salsa and fresh herbs. 

    What About Leftover Dorito Nachos?

    This snack is best eaten fresh out of the oven. Reheating only results in a soggy, unappetizing mess. Avoid making more than you need to prevent wastage.
