# Steps:
01 -
In a bowl, combine crushed Doritos, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix thoroughly and set aside to create a crispy, flavorful coating.
02 -
Place one slice of cheese in the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold diagonally into a triangle and firmly seal edges using beaten egg to prevent leakage during frying.
03 -
Dip each sealed triangle into the egg wash again, then press into the Dorito breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coat on all sides.
04 -
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Fry the triangles in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
05 -
Remove the fried pockets with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately with preferred dips.
# Notes & Tips:
01 -
Use cheese blends that melt well such as mozzarella or pepper jack for variety. Ensure wrappers are tightly sealed to avoid bursting during frying.
02 -
For a baked alternative, bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
03 -
Assemble in advance and freeze uncooked on a tray; fry directly from frozen with an extended fry time.
