Doritos Locos Experiments

Taco Bell Doritos Locos Taco(01 of08)

The Method: The one that started it all uses a proprietary taco shell-shaped Doritos chip as its wrapper, and comes swathed in a special cardboard holder to prevent Doritos powder from coating eaters' hands.The Verdict: Very positive reviews all around; most agreed that the tacos had been improved by the extra salt and savoriness of the Doritos shell. The biggest complaint was that there wasn't enough Doritos flavor -- it seemed as if the seasoning had been tamped down vis-a-vis the normal chips. To solve this problem, we tried adding more Doritos in the middle of the taco. It didn't help. (credit:Bobby Doherty/The Huffington Post)

Cosi Signature Salad(02 of08)

The Method: We tossed crumbled Doritos into Cosi's signature salad, which contains mixed greens, gorgonzola and cranberries.The Verdict: Pretty solid! The chips added some much needed saltiness and crunch to what is usually a sweet, mushy salad. On the other hand, the signature Doritos flavor didn't really stand up to the salad's vinaigrette and ingredients; almost any chip would have improved the salad. In the words of one taster, "Since there is blue cheese in the salad, it feels like the two are competing for attention." (credit:Bobby Doherty/The Huffington Post)

Chipotle Burrito(03 of08)

The Method: Since we were too bashful to ask our Chipotle assembly line wrapper to crumble the Doritos into the middle of the burrito, we ended up stuffing it ourselves ex post wrappo. The Verdict: Funny! But not good-tasting, sadly. One taster said that the pairing was "good texturally," but most agreed that the subtle, natural flavors of a Chipotle burrito clashed with the artificiality of Doritos. (credit:Bobby Doherty/The Huffington Post)

Wendy's French Fries(04 of08)

The Method: Grind the chips into a powder, then shake them up with the fries to coat them evenly. The Verdict: Possibly the worst of the pairings. One taster compared them to "dry cheese fries," while another noted that, "Ketchup does not go with Doritos." Blech! (credit:Bobby Doherty/The Huffington Post)

McDonald's Big Mac(05 of08)

The Method: Added whole Doritos on top of both the burger's beef patties.The Verdict: Bravo! Most tasters agreed that this was almost as good a match as Eddard and Catelyn Stark on "Game of Thrones." (Full disclosure: they did not use a "Song of Ice and Fire" analogy to convey their enthusiasm.) One said, "The creamy sauce complements the crunchy texture of the chips," which, another added, "makes it more satisfying, because usually it's one-dimensional." (credit:Bobby Doherty/The Huffington Post)

McDonald's Chicken McNuggets(06 of08)

The Method: We stuck Doritos into the McNuggets, as our photographer put it, "like shards of glass."The Verdict: These were divisive. Some tasters hated the combo, finding the McNugget flavor and texture overpowering. But others said that dipping the Doritos-adorned nuggets into barbecue sauce made for a revelatory melding of flavors. (credit:Bobby Doherty/The Huffington Post)

Subway Spicy Italian Sub(07 of08)

The Method: Lay whole chips right up in the middle of the sub. The Verdict: One of the better matches. One taster even called it "delicious," noting that salami and Doritos have mutually beneficial flavor profiles. Another taster, though, quipped that, "This does not taste discernibly different because normally when I eat a Subway sandwich I'm also stuffing Doritos in my face." (It's not clear that this was a criticism.) (credit:Bobby Doherty/The Huffington Post)

Dunkin' Donuts Glazed Donuts(08 of08)

The Method: Because we had three donuts, we decided to try a few things... we stuck them in as with the McNuggets, we stuffed them in the middle as with the Big Mac and we sprinkled their crumbs on top as with the Wendy's Fries.The Verdict: Another divisive dish. Though one taster praised the Doritos donuts for their "nice cheesecake taste," others picked up artificial, bitter flavors that they said ruined the meld. Everyone thought they LOOKED awesome though! (credit:Bobby Doherty/The Huffington Post)
