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-plank 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!
Once you have soaked your board you’re only minutes away from enjoying these delicious chips. They take truly almost no time at all. You can easily feed a small crowd with just a few planks and a few bags of chips.
If you’re thinking that there’s no way that this is necessary, that you don’t need these in your life, you’re kinda wrong. I don’t wanna just say you’re flat-out wrong. That’d be rude. But give them a try. Make them for your guests next time you have a party. They’ll start by thinking all you did was open a bag of chips for them. They’ll leave thinking you went all-out.
Flavors And Crunch Enhanced
Cedar-plank 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 disappear 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.
