Ingredients
- 112 g Doritos, crushed into crumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 oz pepper jack cheese, cubed
- 2 oz cheddar cheese, cubed
- 1 lb ground beef
Instructions
- Prepare Doritos crumbs: Crush the Doritos into small crumbs before measuring to ensure even distribution in the burger mixture.
- Mix base ingredients: Place the ground beef into a bowl, then add the Dorito crumbs and egg. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well integrated.
- Cube the cheeses: Cut the pepper jack and cheddar cheeses into small cubes about 1/2 inch in size to ensure melting pockets throughout each patty.
- Incorporate cheese: Add the cheese cubes to the burger mixture and carefully mix until the cheese is evenly distributed without breaking up the cubes.
- Form patties: Separate the mixture into four to six equal portions depending on your preferred burger size, then shape each portion into a patty.
- Cook the burgers: Grill the patties over medium heat until cooked through, or air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping once halfway for even cooking.
- Serve and enjoy: Once cooked, serve your Doritos Burgers hot and enjoy the crispy, cheesy, and flavorful experience.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly crushed Doritos to maintain texture and flavor.
- Adjust cooking time according to the thickness of the patties and your preferred doneness.
- Handle cheese cubes gently when mixing to keep them intact inside the burgers.
- These burgers can be paired with classic toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles for added freshness.
- Make sure burgers are cooked to a safe internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C) to ensure food safety.
