Ingredients

2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened to room temp
1/4 cup green onion, sliced
1 tbsp pickled jalapeños, chopped
1 oz packet taco seasoning
1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
1 (9.25 oz) bag DORITOS^® FLAMIN' HOT^® Nacho Flavored Tortilla Chips
1/3 cup black olives, sliced
To taste kosher salt

Instructions

1 In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened cream cheese, green onion, pickled jalapeños, taco seasoning, and shredded cheese. Mix well by using a paddle attachment, handheld mixer, or wooden spoon until fully combined. Season with salt to taste.

2 Cover and chill for 1 hour, or overnight, or until firm and ready to serve.

3 Meanwhile, finely crush approximately half a bag of DORITOS^® and transfer onto a plate or wide, shallow dish. Reserve the remaining uncrushed chips for garnish.

4 Remove the chilled mixture from the fridge and scoop into rounded 1 tbsp-sized portions. Shape into a ball and drop into the crushed DORITOS^®, rolling to coat the entire surface in fiery, bold flavor!

5 Place the crusted cheese balls onto a serving platter and garnish each crusted cheese ball with two whole DORITOS^® “wings” and two black olive “eyes.” (Stuff the olives with a bit of the cheese mixture to help adhere).

6 Serve and enjoy!
