I had a big time hankerin’ for some Doritos the other day. I was craving that classic crunch and flavor. Well, sorta. I was craving a little something different too. So I made some cedar planked nacho cheese Doritos. I didn’t go crazy with the cedar. After all I’m not making salmon here. I just wanted to add a little crunch and to kick the flavors up a bit. And boy did I ever get what I was lookin’ for!
Flavors And Crunch Enhanced
Cedar planked nacho cheese Doritos get a nice little roast, and little char to them. The cedar aroma is there, but it’s light. Perfect. There’s just a slight taste of cedar to the chips. The nacho cheese flavor that we all love is still there but it’s stronger. Better. Hot off the grill, these little bites of heaven disappears in seconds.
Make Extra. You’ll Need Them.
You’ll definitely want to make several planks of these. Nice thing is that they take only minutes too make, so you can always just toss some more chips on the same plank over and over. I think you can get at least four good batches of chips on a single soaked plank before needing to soak it more.
Also try my cedar planked Twinkies.
