Tips for Using Homemade Dorito® Seasoning:

Adjust to Taste: Feel free to tweak the amounts of each spice according to your taste preferences. More chili or cayenne pepper will increase the heat, while more cheddar cheese powder / nutritional yeast will enhance the cheesy flavor.
NOTE: add a 1/2 teaspoon of cumin for increased warmth / earthiness, add 1/2 teaspoon of coriander for a hint of citrus.
Application: For a more even coating, place your snack and seasoning in a large ziplock bag, seal it, and gently shake until the pieces are evenly coated.
Versatility: Beyond snacks, this Dorito seasoning can be used to add a burst of flavor to dishes like tacos, grilled vegetables, or even sprinkled over popcorn.

Enjoy the bold and addictive flavor of Doritos® anytime with this homemade seasoning blend. It's a fun and customizable way to bring the classic Dorito® taste to a wide range of snacks and dishes.
