Keto Doritos with cottage cheese deep fried? Incredible. You gotta try them. I’m Dave and today we’re gonna make keto Doritos with cottage cheese. Now this is an exciting one, but also a little nerve-wracking. There’s a lot of interesting ingredients in this and I’m hoping it comes out good. Here’s our first one. It’s cottage cheese. So cottage cheese, pretty trendy right now in the realm of keto and I’ve been doing quite a few recipes with cottage cheese and you guys seem to love them. But these seem to be trending the most right now.

Why You’ll Love This

Because I love Doritos. And it’s probably one of the things I miss most. I miss most when I do keto would be the Dorito, normal Doritos, like nacho cheese or Cooler Ranch. I also think one of the keys to success in any sort of diet would be sustainability. So you have to be able to find things you can enjoy, snacks, things like that. Otherwise, you might go off the rails. Fried, they might be better than a Dorito. I literally think I like that better than a Dorito, the fried one. I love the fried ones. The fried ones, if I had a thing of those in my pantry, like an airtight container, next to a thing of Doritos, I would go with these literally every time. They’re better than Doritos.

Cooking Tips

If you’re going for a Dorito, you want it to be pretty dry. My suggestion, if this turns it into a dough, is we start with a cup and a half of cottage cheese, not just a cup. That way, when you strain it and you lose a bunch of liquid, it won’t be detrimental to the recipe. Use a lot of parchment paper, because you need a lot of space to roll this out. You can add cayenne pepper if you want spicy Doritos, like hot Doritos. The crisp is really good on those ones. I am thinking frying is the way to go. You know how you always look for the chip with extra seasoning? Well, you can just create them yourself.

Keto Doritos with cottage cheese, deep fried, incredible. You got to try them.
