Step 1

Add the Doritos to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely ground and the texture resembles panko. Pour into a shallow bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Place 1 cup flour and the beaten eggs into 2 separate shallow bowls. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the leftover mac and cheese, cheddar, and mozzarella until well combined. If the mixture does not stick together, add ¼ cup flour and mix until evenly combined.

Step 4

Roll about ⅓ cup of the mac and cheese mixture into a compact ball, tightly pressing it together with your hands. Repeat with the remaining mac and cheese mixture until you have 9 balls.

Step 5

Transfer the balls to the fridge to stiffen up for about 20 minutes.

Step 6

Working one at a time, roll the balls in the flour, beaten eggs, then crushed Doritos. Shake off any excess and set the coated ball on a parchment-lined sheet tray. Repeat with the remaining balls.

Step 7

Heat the canola oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).

Step 8

Working in batches of 2–3 at a time, fry the balls in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy!
