If you know me at all, you know how much I love Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Quick shout out to my greatest influence, Richard Montanez, the janitor who invented Flamin' Hot Cheetos. I love any variation: Puffed, Limón, stale as hell from leaving them open, or regular. I worship Flamin' Hot Cheetos. I would rather keep a bag in my bed than a boy. I would love to spend a weekend at the movies with a bag of Hot Cheetos. As you can tell, I spend a sh*t load of time with Hot Cheetos and over the last couple of years I have discovered that Hot Cheetos can literally accompany any dish or drink. Here are some creative ways to eat your Hot Cheetos.
1. Ramen (my personal favorite)
Brew up some ramen and instead of using the nasty seasoning, do a little DIY and crunch up some Hot Cheetos into the noodle soup. I have been reprimanded for doing this but I promise it is delicious and turns your ramen red, which is fun.
2. Shots
This is not for the weak hearted. If you can't handle the spice, don't bother. Check out this tutorial from the Tipsy Bartender.
3. Flamin' Bagel
Plain bagel with cream cheese topped with whole or grounded up Hot Cheetos is damn good.
4. Flamin' Salad
I like to ground up my Hot Cheetos and throw them in a salad to completely defeat the purpose of being healthy. Also good for a spicy kick.
5. Juice Cleanse
Instead of cayenne pepper to make you poop your brains out, use Hot Cheeto crumbs instead. A cleanse of water with lemon juice, pure maple syrup and Hot Cheetos will surely not make you skinnier or healthier, but it would be funny.
6. Hot Cheetos Dog
Put some Hot Cheetos on your hot dog, especially the hot dogs from IKEA.
7. Burger
Give your burger an extra crunch and a spicy twist with some Hot Cheetos. Carl's Jr. even released a limited time Flamin' Hot Cheetos burger last year. BRING IT BACK CARL.
8. Hot Cheeto Fingers
Don't eat the actual Hot Cheetos, just rummage your fingers in the bag until your fingers are covered in Hot Cheeto residue and then lick your fingers. THE BEST.
9. Hot Cheetos Flavored La Croix
This isn't a thing yet but I will have you know that I am writing La Croix a letter and this is going to be bigger than Pamplemousse!! Make your own La Croix flavors here.
10. Popcorn
The easiest configuration. Just dump a bag of popcorn and Hot Cheetos into a bowl and mix it up... or just buy this!
As you can see, the possibilities are endless. Stop settling for less and make food great again.
