Introduction
Learn how to make crispy, restaurant-style Doritos nachos entirely from scratch. This complete recipe shows you how to prepare the crunchy corn-based nacho chips, a quick DIY cheese seasoning powder using processed cheese, and a fresh, smoky roasted tomato and capsicum salsa dip.
Step 1
Pour 1 cup of water into a pan, add 1/2 tsp salt and a pinch of turmeric powder. Bring the water to a complete boil, then turn off the flame.
Step 2
Add 1 and 1/4 cup of maize flour to the hot water. Mix thoroughly with a spatula, cover, and let it rest/steam for 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer the warm flour mixture to a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 tsp of dried oregano. Knead carefully into a stiff, smooth dough using the residual moisture (do not add extra water).
Step 4
Pinch a ball-sized portion of the dough, dust it with some all-purpose flour, and roll it out as thin as possible with a rolling pin.
Step 5
Trim the uneven edges of the rolled sheet to form a square. Cut it into equal strips, and then cut diagonally to make triangle pieces. Prick all the triangles with a fork to prevent them from puffing up.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Ensure the nacho dough is rolled out very thin to achieve that perfect signature commercial-style crunch.
Pricking the chips with a fork before frying is essential, or they will swell up like puris.
The baked cheese must be completely cooled down and rock-hard before grinding to prevent it from turning into a sticky paste.
Store any leftover cheese powder in an airtight container inside the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to two weeks.
