Chip-Encrusted Cheese Curds

These Homemade Deep Fried Cheese Curds Were Covered in Doritos First

If you are the kind of person who enjoys consuming as much salt as possible, these deep fried cheese curds are the over the top snack for you, because they are also breaded in nacho chips. Created by food blogger Nick Chipman of DudeFoods, the Deep Fried Doritos-Breaded Cheese Curds recipe calls for fresh and squeaky Wisconsin cheese curds. While some deep fried cheese curds are covered in Panko bread crumbs and others are beer-battered, these nacho chip inventions are in a whole other league.

This outrageous dish requires Nacho-flavored Doritos that are crushed down to crumb size. The bite-sized snack can be dipped in ranch dressing or another sauce of your choosing. An example of extremes, the curds stand in opposition to restrictive vegan and superfood-incorporating bites.
