Let us start from a location of appreciating the marvel that is a Dorito: crispy, crunchy, salted corn chips that provide a powerful punch of taste. I, personally, am still angered that they changed the shape to the rounded corners. I miss those sharp pointy real triangles, but it’s a small thing.
Sadly, while we can all concur that Doritos are a nearly perfect food, they do not like me as much as I enjoy them. They are all kinds of carby and calorific and normally incompatible with my continuous efforts to continue to suit my pants and keep some sort of fairly healthy diet plan.
However the severe health issues with Doritos are mostly with the fried tortilla chip. The flavoring powder is not the main offender behind the fat, carbohydrates, or calories. (Your relationship with processed chemicals and preservatives and so forth is your own.) So, what if I could hack the taste and after that Dorito-fy other stuff?
What if indeed.
I depend on 3 active ingredients that are best sourced from an excellent purveyor: cheddar and Romano cheese powders and tomato powder. While tomato powder is not noted in the ingredients for Doritos, red bell pepper powder is. I’m not, however, a substantial fan of the bell pepper, and I had tomato powder already, so there you are. Essentially this is a cheese-boosted spice rub, and as such can be required to all sorts of delicious locations. Popcorn topper, naturally. Rub it on pork chops or chicken pieces. Sprinkle it on baked potatoes or sweet potatoes. Mix into baked items like biscuits, popovers, or cornbread. Stir it into softened, unsalted butter and spread it on toast. Toss homemade croutons in it or blend it into breadcrumbs to leading casseroles. Butter an ear of corn and roll it around in some. The sky’s the limit.
Heck, if you wish to go all meta, stir it into sour cream to make Doritos dip and then serve … with Doritos.

Crucial note: Everyone’s palate is various, and everyone gets their own thing from Doritos. Taste as you go, and if you want yours cheesier, include more cheese powder. If you want it spicier, include more chili. And so on. This is a starting location for you to make it your own.
Food drink Doritos Powder
You truly do need the shelf-stable dehydrated cheese powders and not grated cheese here. I get mine, as well as the tomato powder, from Old Taylor Streetblend from The Spice House)
Mix all active ingredients in a bowl, and taste for spices. Store the powder in a tidy jar for up to a month. If it clumps, blitz it in a food mill or spice grinder to re-powderize.
