My tips, tweaks, and how I serve them
I try not to over‑fill each sandwich; a generous teaspoon or so per pair of chips is usually enough. If I know I’m using a very bold Doritos flavor, I sometimes scale back the garlic and onion powder slightly so the filling doesn’t compete too much. When I’m making these for a crowd, I’ll use two different Doritos flavors and either two fillings or one base filling with different add‑ins, then label the platter so people can pick their favorite.
For serving, I like to arrange them in a ring on a large plate with a dip bowl in the middle. I treat leftovers like any cheesy appetizer: I store them in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer or oven just until warmed and crisp again. They’re very much a “serve same‑day” snack, so I use the fridge only for short‑term storage and reheat right before putting them back out.
