How to Prepare Cheesy Doritos Chicharrones [Vegan]

To Make the Spice Mix:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Grind into a fine powder in a coffee grinder. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your grinder. The spice mix should be kept in a sealed container for up to 3 months.

To Make the Chicharrones:

  1. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set within reaching distance.
  2. Pour oil in a large, deep saucepan and place over medium heat. Attach a deep-fry thermometer and heat oil to 350°F.
  3. Carefully add a handful of chicharrones to the hot oil and fry until puffed to twice their size and are crisp and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Use a bamboo skimmer or slotted spoon to occasionally turn and submerge the chicharrones in the oil as they cook.
  4. Remove to the paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with spice mix. Repeat with remaining chicharrones.

Notes

Chicharrones de harina are also labeled duros, duritos, Mexican wagon wheels, or Mexican wheat snacks. You can find them in the ethnic aisle of most grocery stores or in Mexican markets.
