These Doritos Burgers are a flavor-packed twist on classic beef patties, incorporating crunchy crushed Doritos and melty cubes of pepper jack and cheddar cheese, creating a deliciously cheesy and crispy experience. Perfect for grilling or air frying, they deliver a fun and bold snack-like taste in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 112 g Doritos, crushed into crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 oz pepper jack cheese, cubed (about 1/2 inch cubes)
  • 2 oz cheddar cheese, cubed (about 1/2 inch cubes)
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio recommended)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Doritos: Begin by crushing the Doritos into small, fine crumbs to evenly incorporate into the burger mixture. This can be done using a food processor or by placing the chips in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix the base: Place the ground beef into a large mixing bowl. Add the crushed Dorito crumbs and one egg to the beef, combining them thoroughly by hand or with a spoon until the mixture is well integrated.
  3. Prepare the cheese: Cube the pepper jack and cheddar cheeses into approximately 1/2 inch pieces. This size helps the cheese stay intact as delicious pockets within the burgers.
  4. Add the cheese: Gently fold the cheese cubes into the beef mixture, distributing them evenly without overworking the meat to maintain juiciness.
  5. Form patties: Divide the mixture into four to six equal portions depending on your preferred burger size, and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
  6. Cook the patties: Grill the patties over medium-high heat until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), approximately 6-7 minutes per side. Alternatively, air fry the burgers at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Once cooked, let the patties rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings or enjoy them on their own for a bold, cheesy burger experience.

Notes

  • Using 80/20 ground beef helps keep the burgers juicy and flavorful.
  • If you prefer spicier burgers, consider using spicy flavored Doritos or adding a dash of cayenne pepper to the mix.
  • Make sure not to overmix the meat to avoid tough burgers.
  • Rest the burgers after cooking to maintain juiciness.
  • Air fryer times may vary depending on the model; always check doneness with a meat thermometer.
