I'll
go out on a limb and call these the greatest
snack chips ever created for the
mass market.
Here's what they are:
Tostitos'
fried corn chips (in the
large size they call "
Restaurant Style") with a
dusting of powdered
red pepper. They taste just like the
Good Chips they serve at the
Good Mexican Food Restaurants. I am fully
capable of eating an entire
bag in one sitting if someone doesn't
club me into
unconsciousness first. My dear sainted
mother, who used to think the only good
snack chip was plain
Ruffles, tried one
Roasted Red Pepper Tostitos chip after I
raved about 'em and immediately tried to
wrestle the bag away from me. They're
that good.
Try one, and you'll never even look at those
wimpy Nacho Cheese Doritos again.
Addendum: It appears that they are no longer manufacturing this
flavor. Damn them all to hell. And it appears that they've replaced them with "
Spicy Quesadilla" flavor Tostitos. I've yet to detect any actual
quesadilla flavor in the chips. As far as I can tell, they bought up all the
black pepper they could, then dumped it all on the chips. Gyaaa.
