Ingredients for Dorito Popcorn Seasoning

  • Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Sea Salt

How to Make Dorito Popcorn Seasoning

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
  2. Using a coffee grinder or blender, pulse the seasoning mixture until it becomes a fine powder. (If using a blender, be careful not to over-process.)
  3. Transfer the Dorito seasoning to an airtight container or jar for storage.
  4. Pop your favorite popcorn (air-popped or microwave).
  5. While the popcorn is still warm, pour the desired amount of seasoning over the popcorn and toss gently to coat evenly. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
