Can't find pretzel nuggets? You could chop up full-size soft pretzels, or brush the pretzels with butter and dust on the Doritos bits and lime zest, then bake according to the pretzel package's instructions.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 bag Doritos (we used Cool Ranch)
  • 1 package frozen soft pretzel nuggets
  • zest from 1 lime

Directions

    1. Step 1Preheat oven to 400°. Microwave butter for 25 to 30 seconds, or until fully melted.
    2. Step 2Open a bag of Doritos, removing any excess air, then roll up the top of the bag. Use a rolling pin or mallet to smash up the Doritos until practically dust. (Don't want to use up a whole bag? You'll only need about two cups of Doritos for this recipe, so you can set aside the rest beforehand.)
    3. Step 3Add pretzel nuggets to the bag of Doritos, pour on melted butter and add lime zest. Close the top of the bag and shake nuggets to coat.
    4. Step 4Pour nuggets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading them out in one even layer.
    5. Step 5Bake in the oven for five minutes. Spritz with lime juice before serving, if you want extra tangy flavor.
