Doritos-Flavored Popcorn

A tasty, cheesy, and spicy popcorn, this savory snack pairs greatly with movie nights and tastes like a cruelty-free version of Doritos!

I use an air popper to pop my popcorn, but you can use your preferred method!  

This recipe is very easy to make and is ready in just a few short minutes, making it an excellent addition to your movie night!

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 popcorn kernels, popped 
3 tbsp. melted coconut oil 

Directions 

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cayenne pepper, chili powder, nutritional yeast, paprika, salt, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder.  Use a fork to crush the ingredients into a powder (you can use a food processor instead).  
2. In a large mixing bowl, toss* together the popped popcorn and coconut oil until the popcorn is coated.
3. Mix in the spice mixture and toss to evenly coat the popcorn.

*I toss my popcorn by covering the bowl with a large saucepan lid and shaking the mixing bowl.
