Making Doritos At Home | But Better - Summary

Summary

The host, Joshua, is starting a new series called "But Better" where he tries to make a better version of popular snacks. In this episode, he's making his own version of Doritos Nacho Cheese chips. He starts by buying store-bought cheese powder and making his own flavor powder using a combination of ingredients like cheddar cheese powder, white cheese powder, buttermilk powder, nutritional yeast, MSG, onion powder, smoked paprika, and fine sea salt.

He then makes his own chips using corn tortillas, cutting them into quarters, and frying them in oil. He seasons the chips with the cheese powder and compares them to store-bought Doritos.

However, he's not satisfied with the result and decides to make his own cheese powder from scratch using dehydrated cheese. He blends the dehydrated cheese into a powder and mixes it with other ingredients to create a seasoning blend.

He then makes another batch of chips and seasons them with the homemade cheese powder. He compares the two versions and decides that the homemade cheese powder version tastes closer to actual nacho cheese, but neither version tastes exactly like Doritos.

In the end, Joshua concludes that while he didn't win at making a perfect replica of Doritos, he did create a delicious homemade nacho cheese chip that's worth trying.
