Dorito popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a simple seasoning blend that can be easily customized to your own taste.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

  • 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.

  2. Pulse the seasoning mixture in a spice grinder or food processor until it is a fine powder.

  3. Pour the seasoning over freshly popped popcorn and toss to coat.

  4. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a more authentic Dorito flavor, use nacho cheese flavored nutritional yeast.

  • If you don't have a spice grinder or food processor, you can crush the seasonings with a mortar and pestle.

  • To make your popcorn extra cheesy, add a few tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese to the seasoning mixture before tossing with the popcorn.

  • You can also use this seasoning to make Dorito-flavored nachos, tacos, or quesadillas.

Variations:

  • For a spicier popcorn, add more cayenne pepper to the seasoning mixture.

  • For a sweeter popcorn, add 1/4 cup of sugar to the seasoning mixture.

  • For a more savory popcorn, add 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese to the seasoning mixture.

Story:

I first tried Dorito popcorn when I was in college. My roommate was a huge fan of Doritos, and she would always make a big bowl of popcorn when we had friends over. I was skeptical at first, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The combination of the cheesy, spicy, and salty flavors was just right.

I started making Dorito popcorn myself after I graduated from college. It's a great snack for parties, movie nights, or just a casual weeknight snack. It's also a great way to use up leftover popcorn.

I've made a few variations on the original recipe over the years. I've added different cheeses, spices, and even fruits to the seasoning mixture. I've also made Dorito-flavored nachos, tacos, and quesadillas.

No matter how I make it, Dorito popcorn is always a hit. It's a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion.

I hope you enjoy this recipe!
