Made my own cool ranch Doritos.

Much better than the store bought ones.
You've got me curious how air-fried corn tortillas would taste.
Those look delish, but the amount of oil would be prohibitive for me.
I'm sure with a little spritz of oil and they would be close to the same. I used corn oil, but maybe if you use canola it would be a little healthier.
I'm way behind on posting my cooking results here, but I'll try to give it a go soon and share the results.
Tonight I'm screwing around by toasting a couple small tamales in the AF... absolutely not the way that's supposed to go. 😄
Fun fact, the brandname doritos are made
- via cooking and soaking corn grains for many hours
- weight separation for removal of softened husks
- grinding process
- lightly pressurized extrusion (higher pressure results in more fluff such as corn puffs and funyuns)
- rolling and cutting to shape
- heating in a special oven at 340 degrees CELSIUS for 16 seconds
- Frying in oil at 182 degrees celsius
Supposedly, the oven sears the chips to hold moisture in while frying. The chips themselves have about 40% moisture before cooking.
Cook my grains for hours
Soak me just as long
grains and wheat aren't flowers
This ain't a pretty song
Pressurize my extrusion
After grinding me for hours
Please separate my husk
Or else this song will sour
High pressure equals fluff
If what thoust desires bequeatheth puff
But what we desires requires light pressure
These rhymes are getting tough
So roll me into shape
Triangle is best
Heat me up in special oven
Fry me in oil; rest
Seasoning recipe? Did you make the tortillas from scratch?
Did not make the tortillas from scratch, they were clearance and too cheap to say no to. I shallow fried them in corn oil and used a ranch packet mix I usually mix with sour cream to dip carrots in.
I've heard ranch powder + paprika. I've done that + a bit of chili powder to make cool ranch seasoning for popcorn that tasted pretty spot-on to me. No measurements, but just mix and match until it tastes correct.
Looked like deep fried wontons
Waiting on a grocery delivery to make some crab ragoon with wonton wrappers I, again, got on clearance.
Edit: Groceries came!
Standing in my underwear
Holding ranch in front of AC
Can't go to store for cool ranch
Because they will see my cold PP
