The chips are made from corn masa, oil, and the proprietary nacho cheese flavoring.

Doritos are typically consumed as a ready-to-eat snack. They are excellent when paired with a variety of dips, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream-based dips, to enhance their flavor and texture. For a different culinary application, they can be crushed and used as a crunchy topping for casseroles, salads, or even as a coating for chicken or fish before baking or frying. Their robust flavor also makes them a good base for layered dips or as an ingredient in creative snack mixes.
