Tapatio

What is it?

Corn tortilla chips coated in a Mexican hot sauce-style seasoning, these chips lean on chili pepper, garlic, and a familiar vinegar edge. As a dry snack, the seasoning sits on the chip instead of coming in a sauce packet or dip. Compared with other Doritos flavors, this one is built around a specific condiment rather than a broad spicy-cheesy profile. Seasoning concentrates in the grooves of each ridged chip, and the flavor idea is straightforward: a tortilla chip version of a well-known bottled hot sauce. It's a collaboration between two brands that share a similar audience, with the hot sauce profile doing most of the heavy lifting.
