Crush Doritos down by using a food processor, blender, or place in a baggie and crush with a rolling pin.
Crack an egg in a shallow bowl and whisk. Place flour into a separate shallow bowl, and crushed chips into a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each halved cheese stick into the egg wash, followed by flour, again in the egg wash, and finally in crushed nacho chips.
Place each cheese stick into an air fryer basket, making sure sticks do not touch, in a single layer.
Heat mozzarella sticks on Air Crisp for 3-4 minutes at 400 degrees.
Carefully remove with tongs and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
nacho cheese chips – There are so many flavors of nacho cheese chips. We like Nacho Cheese Doritos for this dish but feel free to get creative with one of the many types of Doritos! Chili Cheese, Spicy Ranch, Cool Ranch, or Flamin Hot Doritos would all work fantastic.
Mozzarella cheese sticks – Just a regular bag of mozzarella string cheese sticks with each piece cut in half.
Yes, Flaming Hot Cheetos or Takis will easily substitute for Doritos.
