Cheesy, savory, and completely addictive Doritos hummus!
I am on a Doritos kick this month!
After devouring my entire batch of Cool Ranch Hummus, Nacho Cheese was the obvious next flavor. And after that? Who knows! I could always look for inspiration in my childhood home of Japan, where they offer Doritos flavors such as Winter Cheese, Royal Shrimp, Italian Seafood, and Tuna Mayonnaise.
Tuna Mayonnaise Doritos? Really?Â
Although I’ve always subscribed to the idea of not knocking something until you’ve tried it, I will stick to the classic Doritos flavors and spare you any attempts on my part to come up with a Tuna Mayonnaise Doritos hummus.
You’re welcome.
Instead, I give you Homemade Nacho Cheese hummus, this time served with vegan cheddar kettle chips.
I haven’t had a Nacho Cheese Dorito in years and therefore can’t say for sure that the recipe will remind you of that classic Doritos flavor, but this cheesy hummus is fantastic in its own right… and highly addictive!
Nacho Cheese Hummus
Adapted from Cool Ranch Hummus
- 9 oz cooked chickpeas OR 1 can drained, unsalted
- 1/3 cup tomato paste
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp oil OR water
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast OR cheddar-style shreds
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/4 tsp crushed garlic
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
- optional pinch cayenne
Note: Using the oil will yield more depth of flavor; however it can easily be left out if a lower-fat version is needed. If you wish to peel the chickpeas before blending, you’ll get a smoother dip, but it is NOT required. Nacho Cheese Hummus Recipe: Combine all ingredients in a high-quality blender, hand blender, or food processor. Process until the dip is completely smooth. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Recipe Of The Day:
Healthy Chocolate Pudding – NO tofu, no cashews, no avocado!
Nacho cheese is definitely my favorite Dortito flavor! Can’t wait to make this to assuage my Dortito craving.
Yes please! I just pinned this for a later date. I love nacho Doritos the best. I really like trying you recipes, they are so tasty.
Yummm, will definitely be making this if I can find tomato paste here!
I always forego the tuna-mayo onigiri in the convenience store. >__> Surprisingly enough. Wonder why.
Can you do the spicy sweet chili flavor next?
I love making hummus but have yet to try any different flavors (I’m kinda stuck on garlic). This sounds so yummy! I need to start branching out! Thanks for the recipe!

Hey Katie! This recipe looks AHhhhmazinggg! I am all about recreating cheezy goodness! I will give it a go and have my Dorito loving husband tell me whether or not he thinks they taste like the actual chips. I, however, could care less and think this looks delicious as hell! Mhmmm…
Can not wait to try this it sounds soooo good! 🙂
I tried this out as I happened to have all the ingredients on hand. It’s definitely flavorful, I did add some soy milk to it to dilute a bit of the tartness. Maybe next time I will just cut down on either the tomato paste or ACV. I definitely want to try the Cool Ranch one. 🙂 Also, P.S. I was weird and decided to turn the remaining hummus into a Pasta Sauce. :p It’s what a Vegan girl does when she’s trying to be inventive with the food she has in the house!
Well….. the ‘vegan’ equivalent to tuna mayonnaise is chickpea salad…… so you could make ‘chickpea salad hummus’…… hummus with mayonnaise and some dried seaweed maybe?
I tried this tonight (subbing french fried onions for the onion powder, we don’t onion powder in my country) and it was AMAZING. Can’t wait to eat the left overs already!
