There are ordinary mozzarella sticks and then there are Touchdown Dorito Sticks! You can taste the difference, because the latter is a champion-level appetizer for the championship game! The melty, cheesy inside is the same fantastic snack as always, but the exterior is crunchy, nacho-cheese flavored tortilla chips! That’s something breadcrumbs can’t compete with! It’s a score with Touchdown Dorito Sticks!
