How do you CRUNCH? Doritos After DARK

For Winter Solstice, I went to an epic Doritos® After Dark™ pop-up experience in Los Angeles at Ground Level Studios. Our tastebuds were tantalized with a menu of globally-inspired culinary bites packed with our favorite Doritos® flavors.  

First we had drinks flavored with Doritos, and every flavor of Doritos chips with incredible photo opportunities in a chip inspired gallery where everything was in the shape of a triangle even the glasses and tables!

Later, we moved into the dining area with a superb DJ for a festive late-night atmosphere and tasted all five courses of Doritos® After Dark™ including: 

o   Doritos® Flamin’ Hot® Cool Ranch® Corn Puppies: The afterparty starts as soon as these Corn Puppies arrive. Crunchy Korean corn dog-inspired triangles filled with gooey cheese and beef hot dogs beg for a double dunk in ranch sauce and crushed Doritos Flamin’ Hot Cool Ranch crunchers. Once you bite in, everything else just melts away. 

o   Doritos® Nacho Average Nachos: Start with the essentials of queso, guac, and salsa, and then go off on your own flavorland adventure. Take your pick of ground beef or chopped chicken and pair with Doritos® Flamin’ Hot® Cool Ranch® Flavored Tortilla Chips or Doritos®️ Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips to reach nacho nirvana. 

o   Doritos® Spicy Sweet Chili Chicken Bites: You’ve had fried chicken. But not like this. These crispy chicken bites are inspired by Japanese fried chicken with light breading for a soft, snackable crunch with taste bud-tingling flavor. Sprinkle on crushed Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili Flavored Tortilla Chips for a final touch of flavor. 

o   Doritos® Cool Ranch® Loaded Pita: Late night hunger is no joke. A chicken kabob-inspired sandwich pairs perfectly roasted chicken with smooth yogurt sauce for a meal that’s fresh and filling. Take it to ANOTHER LEVEL® by adding Doritos Cool Ranch Flavored Tortilla Chips for crunch in the clutch. 

o   Doritos® Spicy Sweet Chili Sammie: A banh mi-inspired sandwich that packs a late-night punch with perfectly seasoned beef, Asian slaw, sriracha aioli, and fresh cilantro. Grab that delivery and dress it up with delicious Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili Flavored Tortilla Chips. Triangle vibes incoming.
