Now, Doritos will answer fans’ after-hours hunger with Doritos After Dark, an exhilarating late-night bites menu delivered straight to their doors when they want it most.

Embrace the Night with the Doritos After Dark Ghost Kitchen Menu

Doritos After Dark gives fans the chance to go bold with their midnight meals and was created in partnership with PepsiCo Foodservice Digital Lab2 and Popchew. Fans can experience the new mouthwatering meals in New York City, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Las Vegas from 4 p.m. until late into the night December 16-21. To order, fans can head to www.DoritosAfterDark.com or order through their favorite food delivery partners like Popchew, DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub.

“From introducing new flavors like Tangy Tamarind and Tangy Pickle to collaborating with the record-breaking Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ in one of the biggest cultural moments of the year, Doritos is a brand our fans look to for bold new ideas,” said Stacy Taffet, senior vice president of brand marketing, Frito-Lay North America. “By embracing the unexpected, Doritos After Dark has created another moment of inspiration and experimentation, inviting fans to experience Doritos’ boldest venture yet.”

Doritos After Dark leads fans into a new world of Doritos after-hours eats with globally inspired culinary menu items made with classic Doritos flavors, including:

• Doritos® Flamin’ Hot® Cool Ranch® Corn Puppies: The afterparty starts as soon as these Corn Puppies arrive. Crunchy Korean corn dog-inspired triangles filled with gooey cheese and beef hot dogs beg for a double dunk in ranch sauce and crushed Doritos Flamin’ Hot Cool Ranch crunchers. Once you bite in, everything else just melts away.
• Doritos® Nacho Average Nachos: Start with the essentials of queso, guac, and salsa, and then choose your own flavor adventure. Take your pick of ground beef or chopped chicken and pair with Doritos® Flamin’ Hot® Cool Ranch® Flavored Tortilla Chips or Doritos®️ Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips to reach nacho nirvana.
• Doritos® Spicy Sweet Chili Chicken Bites: You’ve had fried chicken. But not like this. These crispy chicken bites are inspired by Japanese fried chicken with light breading for a soft, snackable crunch with taste bud-tingling flavor. Sprinkle with crushed Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili Flavored Tortilla Chips for a final touch of flavor.
• Doritos® Cool Ranch® Loaded Pita: Late-night hunger is no joke. A chicken kabob-inspired sandwich pairs tender roasted chicken with smooth yogurt sauce for a meal that’s fresh and filling. Take it to ANOTHER LEVEL® by adding Doritos Cool Ranch Flavored Tortilla Chips for crunch in the clutch.
• Doritos® Spicy Sweet Chili Sammie: A banh mi-inspired sandwich that packs a late-night punch with perfectly seasoned beef, Asian slaw, sriracha aioli, and fresh cilantro. Grab that delivery and dress it up with delicious Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili Flavored Tortilla Chips. Triangle vibes incoming.
