FAQs
Can I use other chips instead of Doritos?
Yes, you can substitute with other sturdy flavored chips like Cheetos or Fritos for different crunchy flavors, but avoid very fine or powdery chips.
Do I need to add extra salt or seasoning?
Because Doritos are already seasoned, start with a small amount of additional seasoning and adjust according to your taste preference.

Ingredients
For the Burgers
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup crushed Doritos (any flavor you prefer)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, crushed Doritos, egg, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep the burgers tender.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Press gently to ensure the Doritos are evenly distributed and the patties hold together.
- Cook the Burgers: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill or pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for fully cooked beef. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain juices and keep them moist.
- Serve: Remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, and condiments.
Notes
- For extra crunch, press additional crushed Doritos onto the patties before cooking.
- You can experiment with different Doritos flavors like Cool Ranch or Spicy Nacho for varied taste profiles.
- Make sure not to overmix the burger meat to prevent tough burgers.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure burgers are cooked safely and to your preferred doneness.
- Leftover burgers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
