Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

While their other flavors are great, there’s something about nacho cheese Doritos that gets us every time – we could eat a giant bag by ourselves!! While we (mostly) try to be good and refrain from buying them frequently, we were completely stunned when we realized we could make our own Doritos seasoning at home…and then have it whenever we want.

That’s right, by making your own nacho cheese seasoning you can sprinkle it on whatever you like: tortilla chips, chex mix, popcorn, etc. You can Dorito-ify everything! If this isn’t an amazing discovery, we don’t know what is. Grab your spice kits and get going!
