Tostitos Churro Chips. / Snackology
It’s the holiday season, and what says the holidays better than ... tortilla chips that are dusted with churro flavoring?
Tostitos Churro Chips is not a limited-edition flavor that I was expecting as we head toward colder weather. It never occurred to me to give Tostitos a sugary spin. The tortilla chips are salty. They’re spicy. They’re made for dipping into salsa, queso and guacamole.
While I enjoyed this kind of flavor treatment with Cheetos Bag of Bones Cinnamon Sugar, that combo just feels off on a Tostitos chip. I can’t tell if the chip itself is too overpowering or the churro flavoring is too underwhelming, but this flavor just didn’t work for me. (Also, don’t tease a chocolate dipping sauce if you’re not going to sell the chocolate dipping sauce or even put a recipe for it on the bag.)
