Sweet & Tangy Barbecue

What is it?

Barbecue-seasoned tortilla chips built on Doritos' standard corn base, with a reddish-brown coating that leans a little sticky rather than dusty. Brown sugar and molasses handle most of the sweetness, while vinegar and smoke bring in the tangy, sauce-like side of barbecue. Compared with the brand's cheese and ranch flavors, these chips push harder toward a sweet-savory profile. The seasoning is meant to mimic barbecue sauce more than a dry rub, so each chip tastes like familiar corn crunch under a glaze of smoky seasoning.
