- Prep the Cheese – Cut mozzarella into bite-sized cubes. Freeze for 20–30 minutes to keep them from melting too fast when frying.
- Make the Dorito Coating – Place Doritos in a food processor or zip-top bag and crush into fine crumbs.
- Set Up the Breading Station – Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and crushed Doritos in a third.
- Coat the Cheese – Roll each cube in flour, dip into eggs, then press firmly into Dorito crumbs to coat completely. Repeat egg and Dorito step for extra crunch.
- Fry to Golden Perfection – Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry cheese cubes in small batches for 30–45 seconds, just until golden brown.
- Drain and Serve – Place on paper towels to drain, then serve immediately while hot and melty.

Flavor Variations
- Spicy Kick – Use Spicy Nacho Doritos and add a pinch of cayenne to the flour.
- BBQ Twist – Use Sweet Spicy BBQ Doritos and serve with ranch for dipping.
- Pizza Style – Use Nacho Cheese Doritos and serve with warm marinara sauce.
