DORITOS POPCORN INGREDIENTS
- Popcorn kernels
- Garlic powder
- Ground cumin
- Paprika
- Chili powder
- Nutritional yeast

DORITOS POPCORN INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare popcorn using your preferred method. I have a popcorn air popping machine!
- Optionally, finely grind nutritional yeast, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and salt in a spice grinder. I find it helps coat the popcorn more evenly.
- On a large baking sheet, place popcorn. Pour melted vegan butter, and toss the popcorn to coat.
- Sprinkle the nutritional yeast mixture over the popcorn, and toss well to coat. Taste and add more salt, nutritional yeast or chili powder as needed.
