Doritos are most commonly eaten straight from the bag as a satisfying snack. They pair exceptionally well with a variety of dips, including salsa, guacamole, and sour cream-based dips.

Their robust flavor also makes them a good base for layered dips or even as an ingredient in some creative taco or nacho preparations.
