Update: Click here to read out Doritos TapatÃo and Ruffles TapatÃo Limon review
I don’t frequent Mexican restaurants as much as I visit Taco Bell, but whenever I do, there’s almost always a bottle of TapatÃo hot sauce on the table. Some call it hot sauce, but I call it Mexican ketchup because I like to put it on everything when I’m eating Mexican. I’ve had significantly hotter sauces, but the mild kick and flavor of TapatÃo keeps me coming back to it.
The folks at Frito-Lay and the folks at Tapatio have come together to release Tapatio hot sauce-flavored Doritos tortilla chips, Fritos corn chips, and Ruffles potato chips. All three chips are made using the same ingredients found in the original TapatÃo hot sauce recipe — red chili peppers, spices, and a hint of garlic. The flavor of TapatÃo will be add to Doritos Nacho Cheese flavored chips to create Doritos TapatÃo; a hint of lime will be combined with TapatÃo to make Ruffles TapatÃo Limon; and Fritos TapatÃo just gets slapped with the sauce.
An ounce of Fritos TapatÃo Flavored Corn Chips has 140 calorias, 8 grams of grasa, 1 gram of grasa saturada, 0 grams of grasa trans, 5 grams of grasa poliinsaturada, 2.5 grams of grasa monoinsaturada, 160 milligrams of sodio, and 15 grams of carbohidratos.
