Ingredients
- 4 small bags Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 1 bag frozen crinkle-cut fries
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup warm nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup cooked turkey bacon pieces
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
Optional Toppings
- Sour cream
- Salsa
- Sliced jalapeños
- Guacamole
- Black olives
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook the fries: Prepare the frozen crinkle-cut fries according to the package directions until golden and crispy. For extra-crispy fries, use an air fryer or oven and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Prepare the taco beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Season the beef: Add the taco seasoning and ¼ cup water. Stir well and simmer for 2–3 minutes, or until the seasoning mixture has thickened and coated the beef.
- Prepare the Doritos bags: Carefully open each small Doritos bag from the top. Gently crush some of the chips inside the bag, leaving plenty of larger pieces for crunch.
- Build the bags: Divide the crispy fries among the four Doritos bags. Add a generous spoonful of seasoned taco beef to each bag.
- Add the cheese: Spoon warm nacho cheese sauce over the fries and beef. Sprinkle each bag with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add the toppings: Drizzle with ranch dressing, then add diced tomatoes, turkey bacon pieces, and chopped green onions.
- Finish: Add any optional toppings you like, such as sour cream, salsa, jalapeños, guacamole, black olives, or hot sauce.
- Serve: Serve immediately with a fork, allowing everyone to dig straight into their own loaded Doritos bag.
Tips for the Best Doritos Taco Fries
- Add the fries just before serving so they stay crispy.
- Warm the nacho cheese before assembling the bags so it spreads easily.
- Don’t crush the Doritos too finely—you want plenty of crunchy pieces throughout.
- For extra heat, add jalapeños and your favorite hot sauce.
- You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for the beef.
- For a party, prepare all the toppings separately and let everyone build their own Doritos bag.
Serving Idea
Set up a Doritos Taco Fries bar with bowls of taco beef, fries, nacho cheese, ranch, vegetables, and toppings. Guests can customize their own bags and make them as cheesy, spicy, or loaded as they like.
