Ingredients
  

For the Chips:
  • 1 bag Corn Tortilla Chips
  • 1 packet Dry Ranch Dressing good-quality
Optional Add-Ins:
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper for heat

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula or Spoon
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven or Air Fryer

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven (Optional)
    If you prefer your chips to be extra crispy, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you want to enjoy them straight from the bag, feel free to skip this step!
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Tortilla Chips
    In a large mixing bowl, pour in your corn tortilla chips. Make sure they are broken or whole, depending on your preference for chip size.
  3. Step 3: Add the Ranch Dressing Mix
    Sprinkle the dry ranch dressing mix over the tortilla chips. If you’re feeling adventurous, add any optional spices at this stage.
  4. Step 4: Toss to Coat
    Using a spatula or your hands, gently toss the chips until they are evenly coated with the ranch dressing mix. Make sure every chip gets a little love!
  5. Step 5: Bake for Extra Crispiness (Optional)
    If you decided to preheat the oven, spread the coated chips evenly on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  6. Step 6: Cool and Enjoy
    Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This will help them crisp up even more. Serve them up in a bowl and enjoy your homemade Bootleg Doritos!

Notes

  • For a cheesy twist, consider adding powdered cheese to the ranch mix.
  • These chips are perfect for dipping! Pair them with your favorite salsa or guacamole.
  • Feel free to experiment with different seasoning blends for a unique flavor profile.
