Nacho Cheese Pops

Have you ever wondered when Nachos were invented and by whom?  Ignacio Nacho Anaya from Pietra's Negras, Mexico invented them in 1943 while working at the Victory Club restaurant in Piedras, Mexico.  It is a Mexican town that is just across the Texas border.  Some military wives stopped in to eat  at the Victory Club and Ignacio threw together what ingredients he had on hand and the Nacho was born!.  Every year they have the Nacho competition in Piedras Negras.  Here is the very interesting article: http://www.cooksinfo.com/edible.nsf/pages/nachos


I love corn bread and I also love Doritos! I thought I would combine the two and see what happens. I will be sharing how to make Nacho pops.  I am writing a cookbook for my kids so they will have a copy of all my favorite family recipes that have been passed down.  I am modifying a family favorite corn bread recipe to make Nacho cheese pops.  The results were so good I want to add it to my faves.

This recipe was made from our families favorite corn bread recipe. I substituted the Doritos for the cornmeal in our cornbread recipe and changed the cooking method. 

Step 1: Ingredients

Ingredients:

1 Cup mashed Doritos (The original recipe has 1 cup of white corn meal but everything else is the same, except the method.)
2 C Flour reserve one cup for forming the ball (You may need more flour for forming the balls)
¼ C Sugar
2 t Baking Powder
1 t Baking Soda
2 C Buttermilk
2 Eggs
Dash of sea salt  you can omit if you like.
Oil for frying the pops.
Skewers.

Please note: You may substitute plain milk with 1 tbs of vinegar added instead of buttermilk, but it greatly impacts texture and taste. This recipe is my cornbread recipe that I changed:  I exchanged the cornmeal with the Doritos.

It is a spicy cheesy corn chip usually goes well with Mexican food. The picture below is plain and not seasoned.

Great! By the way any kind of spicy seasoned corn chip would work! If you post an instructable on it I would love to see the results! Thanks for sharing!

I really NEED to try this! I LOVE nacho cheese. I have one of those cake pop pans. Do you think I could bake them in that instead? Just a random thought. Thanks for making my weight loss plan a little more difficult! JK, I love it! :P

[sunshiine]

It has all the ingredients to make cornbread, so I am fairly sure it would work. 99% sure. Give it a try. Maybe just bake 2, if that don't work try a baking dish. I would bake it at the same temp and time as the cake pops. Thanks so much for commenting! Have a great day!

Fun Fact: Apparently eating different kinds of cheeses will produce different dreams. I would love to experiment that with these, see what kind of trip I can take.

[sunshiine]

In this case I hope your dreams are real cheesy! Enjoy! And thanks for sharing!

I love it now I know what to do with the crumbs at the end of the bag. (But I'm gonna sneak some flaming hot ones in there).
