Doritos Super Bowl commericals: recipes using doritos

Doritos scored big last night with their three Super Bowl commercials. Western New Yorkers, along with the rest of the nation, were treated to 'Pug Attack' featuring a man teasing a pug who ultimately crashes through the door and traps the man. Second in the Doritos trifecta lineup was 'The Best Part' which featured a man licking the last of the Doritos off a coworker's fingers, then sniffing Dorito dust off another coworker's pants. Last, but not least, Doritos featured a commercial entitled 'House Sitting' in which a young brings a fish, a plant and Grandpa back to life with Dorito dust.
