Flamas

What is it?

Tortilla chips coated in a deep red seasoning, these snacks lean on chili pepper heat and lime tang rather than plain salt. Sturdy enough to carry a heavy dusting, each chip has that standard Doritos triangle crunch, with the flavor hitting fast and then lingering. Within the Doritos lineup, this flavor sits closer to chile-limon snacks than to the brand's cheese-based chips. It's a dry snack, meant to be eaten straight from the bag, and the seasoning has a bright citrus edge that keeps the spice from reading as just heat. Garlic and onion notes round out the background behind all that chili and lime.
